Equinox FWD V6-3.0L (2010)
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Voltage
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at an easily accessible control module.
2. Ignition ON, test for greater than 4.5 V between each serial data circuit at the control module connector that was just disconnected and ground.
Verify that one or more serial data circuits are greater than 4.5 V.
‹› If all serial data circuits are less than the specified range, replace the control module that was disconnected.
3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at another control module, in the
direction of the circuit shorted to voltage.
4. Ignition ON, test for greater than 4.5 V between the serial data circuits at the control module connector that was just disconnected and ground.
Verify that one or more serial data circuits are greater than 4.5 V.
‹› If all serial data circuits are less than the specified range, replace the control module that was just disconnected.
5. Repeat step 3 until one of the follow conditions are isolated:
*
A short to voltage on the serial data circuit between 2 control modules or splice packs, if equipped
*
A short to voltage on the serial data circuit between a control module and a terminating resistor.
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short to Ground
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at an easily accessible control module.
2. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 1k ohm between each serial data circuit at the control module connector that was just disconnected
and ground. Verify that one or more serial data circuits are less than 1k ohm.
‹› If all serial data circuits are greater than the specified range, replace the control module that was disconnected.
3. Disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at another control module, in the direction of the circuit
shorted to ground.
4. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 1k ohm between the serial data circuits at the control module connector that was just disconnected
and ground. Verify that one or more serial data circuits are less than 1k ohm.
‹› If greater than the specified range for all serial data circuits, replace the control module that was just disconnected.
5. Repeat step 3 until one of the follow conditions are isolated:
*
A short to ground on the serial data circuit between 2 control modules or splice packs, if equipped
*
A short to ground on the serial data circuit between a control module and a terminating resistor.
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for a Short between the Circuits
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at an easily accessible control module
that is not communicating.
2. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 35 ohm between each pair of serial data circuits at the control module connector that was just
disconnected. Verify that one pair of serial data circuits are less than 35 ohm.
‹› If each pair of serial data circuits is greater than the specified range, replace the control module that was disconnected.
3. Connect the harness connectors at the control module that was disconnected.
4. Disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at another control module, in the direction of the
circuits shorted together.
5. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 35 ohm between each pair of serial data circuits at the control module connector that was just
disconnected. Verify that one pair of serial data circuits are less than 35 ohm.
‹› If each pair of serial data circuits is within the specified range, replace the control module that was just disconnected.
6. Repeat step 3 until one of the following conditions are isolated:
*
Serial data circuits shorted together between 2 control modules or splice packs, if equipped
*
Serial data circuits shorted together between a control module and a terminating resistor
*
A shorted terminating resistor
Testing the Serial Data Circuits for an Open/High Resistance
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connectors with the chassis high speed GMLAN serial data circuits at an easily accessible control module
that is not communicating.
2. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for greater than 100k ohm between each pair of serial data circuits at the control module connector that was just
disconnected. Verify that one pair of serial data circuits are greater than 100k ohm.
