WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Sonic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF.
  2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the G13 Generator housing and C1 Battery negative terminal.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

    • Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω 
  3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the G13 Generator B+ circuit terminal A X2, B X2, 1 X1 or 1 X2 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Remove the test lamp and disconnect the B+ cable at the G13 Generator
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Remove the test lamp, disconnect the C1 Battery negative cable, and disconnect the G13 Generator B+ cable.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, test or replace the G13 Generator.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  4. Test or replace the G13 Generator.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
