1. Vehicle ON/OFF switch indicator always OFF 2. Power mode mismatch * DTC set in keyless entry control module |
Circuit/System Description
The vehicle ON/OFF switch has a single LED that indicate the vehicle power mode. When the vehicle is in the off mode, the LED is not illuminated. Pressing and holding the vehicle ON/OFF switch up to 10 s, without the brake pedal applied, will enter the Vehicle Service Mode and the blue LED will illuminate. With the vehicle OFF and the brake pedal applied, pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch once, the vehicle will enter the Vehicle ON mode and the blue LED will illuminate.
The vehicle ON/OFF switch contains two individual switches that provides redundant switch inputs to both the body control module (BCM) and the keyless entry control module. The BCM supplies the vehicle ON/OFF switch a constant B+ signal. The BCM monitors this signal to determine if the switch is released or pressed.
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is not pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through two resistors in the switch. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through only one resistor, changing the voltage seen at the BCM and indicating that the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed.
The keyless entry control module monitors voltage on the switch in the same manner as the BCM, but monitors
the s switch located in the vehicle ON/OFF switch. The keyless entry control module also controls the backup power for the ignition run relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition voltage circuit. This circuit is a pass-thru in the BCM and will energize the ignition circuit when the vehicle is in Service Mode, the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested.
Conditions for Running the DTC Control module voltage is 9 - 16 V. Conditions for Setting the DTC B097B 00
The voltage seen at the BCM monitored switch does not match the voltage seen at the keyless entry
control module monitored switch.
The above condition exists for more than 1 s

The above condition exists for more than 1 s
B097B 04
The control module detects an open in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
The above condition exists for more than 1 s
B097B 05
The control module detects an open in the vehicle ON/OFF switch signal circuit
The above condition exists for more than 1 s
B097B 08
The control module detects a change in the ignition mode without observing a switch press
The above condition occurs 4 consecutive times
B097B 61

Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) controls the ignition main relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition main relay coil control circuit. The ignition main relay is energized when the vehicle is in Service Mode, the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested. This is part of the BCM's primary function in controlling the vehicle power mode.
The keyless entry control module controls the backup power for the ignition main relay through the control circuit by applying voltage to the ignition circuit. This circuit is a pass-thru in the BCM and will energize the ignition circuit when the vehicle is in Service Mode, the vehicle is ON, or when a remote start is requested.
Conditions for Running the DTC System voltage is greater than 9 V Conditions for Setting the DTC B144B 01

Circuit/System Description
The keyless entry control module controls the retained accessory power relay by applying voltage to the interruptible retained accessory power relay coil control circuit. The retained accessory power relay is energized during all power modes, except OFF-awake. The relay is also energized for approximately 10 min after shutting the vehicle OFF providing, no door is opened and during transmitter authentication. The keyless entry control module will deactivate components that may cause radio frequency (RF) interference when the vehicle on/off switch is pressed which may result in NO REMOTE DETECTED displayed on the driver information center.

1. Vehicle ON/OFF switch indicator always ON 2. Vehicle ON/OFF switch indicator inoperative |
Circuit/System Description
The vehicle ON/OFF switch has a single LED that indicates the vehicle power mode. When the vehicle is in the OFF mode, the LED is not illuminated. Pressing and holding the vehicle ON/OFF switch for at least 5 s, without the brake pedal applied, will enter the Vehicle Service Mode and the blue LED will illuminate. With the vehicle OFF and the brake pedal applied, pressing the vehicle ON/OFF switch once, the vehicle will enter the Vehicle ON mode and the blue LED will illuminate.
The vehicle ON/OFF switch contains two individual switches that provides redundant switch inputs to both the body control module (BCM) and the keyless entry control module. The BCM supplies the vehicle ON/OFF switch a constant B+ signal. The BCM monitors this signal to determine if the switch is released or pressed.
When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is not pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through two resistors in the switch. When the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed, voltage on the signal circuit is pulled down through only one resistor, changing the voltage seen at the BCM and indicating that the vehicle ON/OFF switch is pressed.
The keyless entry control module monitors voltage on the switch is the same manner as the BCM, but monitors the second switch located in the vehicle ON/OFF switch.

USING CONNECTOR TEST ADAPTERS
Special Tools
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not insert test equipment probes (DMM etc.) into any connector or fuse block terminal. The diameter of the test probes will deform most terminals. A deformed terminal will cause a poor connection, which will result in a system failure. Always use the J-35616-F GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit in order to front probe terminals. Do not use paper clips or other substitutes to probe terminals.
When using the J-35616-F GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit, ensure the terminal test adapter choice is the correct size for the connector terminal. Do not visually choose the terminal test adapter because some connector terminal cavities may appear larger than the actual terminal in the cavity. Using a larger terminal test adapter will damage the terminal. Refer to the J-35616-F GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit label on the inside of the J-35616-F GM Approved Terminal Release Tool Kit for the correct adapter along with the connector end view for terminal size.
PROBING ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Special Tools
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
NOTE: Always be sure to reinstall the connector position assurance (CPA) and terminal position assurance (TPA) when reconnecting connectors or replacing terminals.
Front probe
Disconnect the connector and probe the terminals from the mating side (front) of the connector.
CAUTION: Refer to Test Probe Caution .
NOTE: When probing female 0.64 terminals, it is important to use the correct adapter.
There have been some revisions to the test adapter for 0.64 terminals. The proper adapter for 0.64 terminals is the J-35616-64B which has a gold terminal and a black wire between the base and tip. Failure to use the proper test adapter may result in damage to the terminal being tested and improper diagnosis.
NOTE: The proper adapter for probing the terminals for fuses, relays, or diodes in an electrical center is J-35616-35. Using any other tool or adapter may damage the terminal being tested.

NOTE: Circuits which include any solid state control modules, such as the engine control module (ECM), should only be tested with a 10 megohm or higher impedance digital multimeter such as the EL-39200.
The DMM instruction manual is a good source of information and should be read thoroughly upon receipt of the DMM as well as kept on hand for future reference.
A DMM should be used instead of a test lamp in order to test for voltage in high impedance circuits. While a test lamp shows whether voltage is present if the impedance is low enough, a DMM indicates how much voltage is present. In other words, if there is not enough current, the test lamp will not illuminate even though voltage is present.
The ohmmeter function on a DMM shows how much resistance exists between 2 points along a circuit. Low resistance in a circuit means good continuity.
NOTE: Disconnect the power feed from the suspect circuit when measuring resistance with a DMM. This prevents incorrect readings. DMMs apply such a small voltage to measure resistance that the presence of voltages can upset a resistance reading.
Diodes and solid state components in a circuit can cause a DMM to display a false reading. To find out if a component is affecting a measurement take a reading once, then reverse the leads and take a second reading. If
the readings differ the solid state component is affecting the measurement.
Following are examples of the various methods of connecting the DMM to the circuit to be tested:
Probe both ends of the connector and either hold the leads in place while manipulating the connector or tape the leads to the harness for continuous monitoring while you perform other operations or test driving. Refer to
Probing Electrical Connectors
.
Disconnect the harness at both ends of the suspected circuit where it connects either to a component or to other harnesses.
If the system that is being diagnosed has a specified pinout or breakout box, it may be used in order to simplify connecting the DMM to the circuit or for testing multiple circuits quickly.

6. The DMM will display the frequency measured.
TESTING GROUND AND LOW REFERENCE CIRCUITS
Because a test lamp can light with up to 200 Ω in a ground or low reference circuit they are not recommended to be used for this type of test. A low impedance test lamp can light and indicate the circuit is good when there is as much as 20 - 30 Ω present, while a high impedance test lamp can light with up to 200 Ω present in the circuit. This is why the Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) is used when validating a ground or low reference circuit continuity.
When using the DMM there are many vehicle conditions that can affect the ground and low reference continuity testing. If these conditions are not met, a ground or low reference circuit test can fail on a good circuit. This may cause longer diagnosis time and incorrect component replacement.
Any current flow through a ground or low reference circuit, while being tested, will skew the DMM continuity reading, or display a reading higher than when there is no current flowing. Performing a ground or low reference circuit continuity test, in reference to the vehicles battery negative terminal, will have the highest risk of failing a good ground or low reference circuit test than any other ground reference point. The best ground test points would be a control module housing (if the control modules housing is metal and grounded), door jamb striker (if attached to metal), under dash metal frame work, engine block, or body ground studs (other than where the negative battery cable is attached).
A typical DMM ground or low reference circuit continuity reading can be as high as 100 Ω with the vehicle power mode in Vehicle ON or Vehicle in Service Mode, and drop to 15 - 25 Ω after switching the vehicle off. The reading will drop below 10 Ω after 30 - 40 s, then below 5 Ω after 60 s. Once the vehicle completely goes to sleep (generally 3-10 min) the reading will drop below 0.3 Ω.
The following list of conditions may need to be met to ensure a valid continuity reading on a ground or low reference circuit:
Vehicle off
Transmitter out of range of the vehicle
Retained Accessory Power off (open and close the driver door after vehicle off)
Battery charger set at a 2 A or less charge rate
Scan tool not communicating with any vehicle control module (in some cases it may need to be disconnected from the DLC)
All entry doors closed
Headlamps off(auto headlamps disabled)
Any delay lighting off
HVAC after blow off
Any accessory that can work when the vehicle power mode is Vehicle OFF
Wait up to 60 s (after all other listed conditions are met)
Locking the doors with a remote transmitter can greatly reduce the time to achieve a valid ground or low reference continuity test result.
There are some low reference circuits that use a driver to isolate the circuit while the ignition is off. This is done in most cases for accidental reverse battery connections or reverse polarity jump starting. When this driver is present, the ignition will need to be on to validate the circuit.
TESTING FOR CONTINUITY

TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Special Tools
EL-35616 Terminal Test Probe Kit
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
When the condition is not currently present, but is indicated in DTC history, the cause may be intermittent. An intermittent may also be the cause when there is a customer complaint, but the symptom cannot be duplicated. Refer to the Symptom Table of the system that is suspect of causing the condition before trying to locate an intermittent condition.
Most intermittent conditions are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. Inspect for the following items:
Wiring broken inside the insulation
Poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector
Poor terminal to wire connection - Some conditions which fall under this description are poor crimps, poor solder joints, crimping over the wire insulation rather than the wire itself, and corrosion in the wire to terminal contact area, etc.
Pierced or damaged insulation can allow moisture to enter the wiring causing corrosion. The conductor can corrode inside the insulation, with little visible evidence. Look for swollen and stiff sections of wire in the suspect circuits.
Wiring which has been pinched, cut, or its insulation rubbed through may cause an intermittent open or short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.
Wiring that comes in contact with hot or exhaust components
Refer to
Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions
in order to duplicate the conditions required, in order to verify the customer concern.
Refer to
Testing for Electrical Intermittents
for test procedures to detect intermittent open, high resistance, short to ground, and short to voltage conditions.
Refer to
Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure
for advanced intermittent diagnosis and Vehicle Data Recorder operation.
Testing for Terminal Fretting
Some intermittent conditions can be caused by wire terminal fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion is a build-up of insulating, oxidized wear debris that can form when there is a small motion between electrical contacts. The oxidized wear debris can pile up enough at the electrical contact spots that the electrical resistance across the
connection increases. Movement between the contacting surfaces as small as 10 to 100 microns can cause fretting. To put this in perspective, a sheet of paper is about 100 microns thick, so fretting motion is small and hard to see. Vibration and thermal expansion/contraction are the main sources that create fretting motion. Since vehicles vibrate and can experience large temperature swings, they are a good source for fretting motion. Tin, copper, nickel, and iron surfaces are all susceptible to fretting corrosion. Fretting corrosion can be difficult to see but it looks like small, dark smudges on the terminals contact surface.
To correct a fretting condition disconnect the suspect connector and add dielectric grease / lubricant (Nyogel 760G or equivalent, meeting GM specification 9986087) to both sides of the connector terminals. Then reconnect the connector and wipe away any excess lubricant. This will correct the additional terminal contact resistance due to the terminal fretting corrosion.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact
It is important to test terminal contact at the component and any inline connectors before replacing a suspect component. Mating terminals must be inspected to ensure good terminal contact. A poor connection between the male and female terminal at a connector may be the result of contamination or deformation.
Contamination may be caused by the connector halves being improperly connected. A missing or damaged connector seal, damage to the connector itself, or exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt can also cause contamination. Contamination, usually in the underhood or underbody connectors, leads to terminal corrosion, causing an open circuit or intermittently open circuit.
Deformation is caused by probing the mating side of a connector terminal without the proper adapter. Always use the EL-35616 kit when probing connectors. Other causes of terminal deformation are improperly joining the connector halves, or repeatedly separating and joining the connector halves. Deformation, usually to the female terminal contact tang, can result in poor terminal contact causing an open or intermittently open circuit.
Testing for Proper Terminal Contact in Bussed Electrical Centers (BEC)
It is very important to use the correct test adapter when testing for proper terminal contact of fuses and relays in a bussed electrical center (BEC). Use EL-35616 kit to test for proper terminal contact. Failure to use EL-35616 kit can result in improper diagnosis of the bussed electrical center.
Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Separate the connector halves.
2. Visually inspect the connector halves for contamination. Contamination may result in a white or green build-up within the connector body or between terminals. This causes high terminal resistance, intermittent contact, or an open circuit. An underhood or underbody connector that shows signs of contamination should be replaced in its entirety: terminals, seals, and connector body.
3. Using an equivalent male terminal/terminated lead, verify that the retention force is significantly different between a known good terminal and the suspect terminal. Replace the female terminal in question.
Flat Wire Connectors
There are no serviceable parts for flat wire connectors on the harness side or the component side. Follow the procedure below in order to test terminal contact:
1. Remove the component in question.
2. Visually inspect each side of the connector for signs of contamination. Avoid touching either side of the
connector as oil from your skin may be a source of contamination as well.
3. Visually inspect the terminal bearing surfaces of the flat wire circuits for splits, cracks, or other imperfections that could cause poor terminal contact. Visually inspect the component side connector to ensure that all of the terminals are uniform and free of damage or deformation.
4. Insert the appropriate adapter from the on the flat wire harness connector in order to test the circuit in question.
Control Module/Component Voltage and Grounds
Poor voltage or ground connections can cause widely varying symptoms.
Test all control module voltage supply circuits. Many vehicles have multiple circuits supplying voltage to a control module. Other components in the system may have separate voltage supply circuits that may also need to be tested. Inspect connections at the module/component connectors, fuses, and any intermediate connections between the voltage source and the module/component. A test lamp or a DMM may indicate that voltage is present, but neither tests the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current.
Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing, and Power Distribution Schematics .
Test all control module ground and system ground circuits. The control module may have multiple ground circuits. Other components in the system may have separate grounds that may also need to be tested.
Inspect grounds for clean and tight connections at the grounding point. Inspect the connections at the component and in splice packs, where applicable. Operate the component to test the ability of the circuit to carry sufficient current. Refer to Circuit Testing, and Ground Distribution Schematics .
Temperature Sensitivity
An intermittent condition may occur when a component/connection reaches normal operating temperature. The condition may occur only when the component/connection is cold, or only when the component/connection is hot.
Freeze Frame, Failure Records, Snapshot, or Vehicle Data Recorder data may help with this type of intermittent condition, where applicable.
If the intermittent is related to heat, review the data for a relationship with the following:
High ambient temperatures
Underhood/engine generated heat
Circuit generated heat due to a poor connection, or high electrical load
Higher than normal load conditions, towing, etc.
If the intermittent is related to cold, review the data for the following:
Low ambient temperatures - In extremely low temperatures, ice may form in a connection or component. Inspect for water intrusion.
The condition only occurs on a cold start.
The condition goes away when the vehicle warms up.
Information from the customer may help to determine if the trouble follows a pattern that is temperature related.
If temperature is suspected of causing an intermittent fault condition, attempt to duplicate the condition.
Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions in order to duplicate the conditions required.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electrical Noise
Some electrical components/circuits are sensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI) or other types of electrical noise. Inspect for the following conditions:
A mis-routed harness that is too close to high voltage/high current devices such as secondary ignition components, motors, generator, etc. - These components may induce electrical noise on a circuit that could interfere with normal circuit operation.
Electrical system interference caused by a malfunctioning relay, or a control module driven solenoid or switch - These conditions can cause a sharp electrical surge. Normally, the condition will occur when the malfunctioning component is operating.
Improper installation of non-factory or aftermarket add on accessories such as lights, 2-way radios, amplifiers, electric motors, remote starters, alarm systems, cell phones, etc. - These accessories may create interference in other circuits while operating and the interference would disappear when the accessory is not operating. Refer to
Checking Aftermarket Accessories
.
Test for an open diode across the A/C compressor clutch and for other open diodes. Some relays may contain a clamping diode.
The generator may be allowing AC noise into the electrical system.
Incorrect Control Module
There are only a few situations where reprogramming a control module is appropriate:
A new service control module is installed.
A control module from another vehicle is installed.
Revised software/calibration files have been released for this vehicle.
NOTE: DO NOT re-program the control module with the SAME software/calibration files that are already present in the control module. This is not an effective repair for any type of concern.
Verify that the control module contains the correct software/calibration. If incorrect programming is found, reprogram the control module with the most current software/calibration. Refer to
Control
Module References
for replacement, setup, and programming.
INDUCING INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITIONS
Special Tools
EL-25070 Heat Gun
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: Before working on any high voltage system, be sure to wear the following Personal Protection Equipment:
Safety glasses with appropriate side shields when within 50 feet of the vehicle, either indoors or outdoors
Certified and up-to-date Class "0" Insulation gloves rated at 1000V with leather protectors
Visually and functionally inspect the gloves before use.
Wear the Insulation gloves at all times when working with the high
voltage battery assembly, whether the system is energized or not.
Failure to follow the procedure exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.
Many intermittent open or shorted circuits are affected by harness/connector movement that is caused by vibration, torque, bumps/rough pavement, etc. In order to duplicate the customer's concern, it may be necessary to manipulate the wiring harness if the malfunction appears to be vibration related. Manipulation of a circuit can consist of a wide variety of actions, including:
Wiggling the harness
Disconnecting a connector and reconnecting
Stressing the mechanical connection of a connector
Pulling on the harness or wire in order to identify a separation/break inside the insulation
Relocating a harness or wires
All these actions should be performed with some goal in mind. For instance, with a scan tool connected, wiggling the wires may uncover a faulty input to the control module. The snapshot option would be appropriate here. Refer to Scan Tool Snapshot Procedure. Another option is, with the component commanded ON and OFF by the scan tool, to move related connectors and wiring and observe the component operation. With the vehicle ON, move related connectors and wiring while monitoring vehicle operation. If harness or connector movement affects the data displayed, component/system operation, or vehicle operation, inspect and repair the harness/connections as necessary.
You may need to load the vehicle in order to duplicate the concern. This may require the use of weights, floor jacks, jackstands, frame machines, etc. In these cases you are attempting to duplicate the concern by manipulating the suspension or frame. This method is useful in finding harnesses that are too short and their connectors pull apart enough to cause a poor connection. A DMM set to the Min/Max mode and connected to the suspect circuit while testing can yield desirable results. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents.
Certainly, using the senses of sight, smell, and hearing while manipulating the circuit can provide good results as well.
There may be instances where circuit manipulation alone will not meet the required criteria for the fault condition to appear. In such cases it may be necessary to expose the suspect circuit to other conditions while manipulating the harness. Such conditions would include high moisture conditions, along with exceptionally high or low temperatures. The following discusses how to expose the circuit to these kinds of conditions.
High Temperature Conditions
If the complaint tends to be heat related, you can simulate the condition using the EL-25070 heat gun.
Using the heat gun, you can heat up the suspected area or component. Manipulate the harnesses under high temperature conditions while monitoring the scan tool or DMM to locate the fault condition.
The high temperature condition may be achieved simply by test driving the vehicle at normal operating temperature. If a heat gun is unavailable, consider this option to enhance your diagnosis. This option does not allow for the same control, however.
Low Temperature Conditions
Depending on the nature of the fault condition, placing a fan in front of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the
shade can have the desired effect.
If this is unsuccessful, use local cooling treatments such as ice or a venturi type nozzle (one that provides hot or cold air). This type of tool is capable of producing air stream temperatures down to -18°C (0°F) from one end and +71°C (160°F) from the other. This is ideally suited for localized cooling needs. In addition, circuit cooling spray can be used to cool down a component or circuit.
Once the vehicle, component, or harness has been sufficiently cooled, manipulate the harness or components in an effort to duplicate the concern.
Duplicating Failure Conditions
If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure conditions.
Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present when the DTC set.
1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
3. Switch the vehicle power mode to Vehicle Off and wait 15 seconds.
4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling conditions have been satisfied long enough for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
TESTING FOR ELECTRICAL INTERMITTENTS
Special Tools
EL-39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
WARNING: This procedure should not be performed on high voltage circuits. Performing this procedure on high voltage circuits may result in serious injury or death.
Perform the following procedures while wiggling the harness from side to side. Continue this at convenient points (about 6 inches apart) while watching the test equipment.
Testing for Short to Ground
Testing for Continuity
Testing for a Short to Voltage
If the fault is not identified, perform the procedure below using the MIN MAX feature on the EL-39200 DMM. This feature allows you to manipulate the circuit without having to watch the DMM. The DMM will generate an audible tone when a change is detected.
NOTE: The DMM must be used in order to perform the following procedure since the DMM can monitor current, resistance or voltage while recording the minimum (MIN), and maximum (MAX) values measured.
1. Connect the DMM to both sides of a suspected connector (still connected), or from one end of a suspected circuit to the other. Refer to Troubleshooting with a Digital Multimeter for information on connecting the DMM to the circuit.
2. Set the rotary dial of the DMM to the V (AC) or V (DC) position.
3. Press the range button of the DMM in order to select the desired voltage range.
NOTE: The 100 ms RECORD mode is the length of time an input must stay at a new value in order to record the full change.
4. Select the MIN MAX function of the DMM. The DMM displays the 100 ms RECORD and emits an audible tone (beep).
5. Simulate the condition that is potentially causing the intermittent connection, either by wiggling the connections or the wiring, test driving, or performing other operations. Refer to Inducing Intermittent Fault Conditions.
6. Listen for the audible Min Max Alert which indicates that a new minimum or maximum value has been recorded.
7. Press the MIN MAX button until the MAX value is displayed and note the value.
8. Press the MIN MAX button until the MIN value is displayed and note the value.
9. Determine the difference between the MIN and MAX values.
If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is 1 V or greater an intermittent open or high resistance condition exists. Repair the condition as necessary.
If the variation between the recorded MIN and MAX voltage values is less than 1 V an intermittent open or high resistance condition does not exist.
SCAN TOOL SNAPSHOT PROCEDURE
Reviewing Stored Data in Global Diagnostic System (GDS)
Overview
A snapshot is a recording of what a control module on the vehicle was receiving for information while the snapshot is being made. A snapshot is used to analyze the data during the time a vehicle condition is current. In GDS 2 there is not a traditional snapshot as there has been in the past. GDS 2 saves all past VIN and diagnostic data for future viewing. GDS 2 automatically records data whenever the user views Module Diagnostics, Vehicle Diagnostics and/or Systems Diagnostics. Module Diagnostics includes DTC Data, Identification Information, Data Display, Control Functions and Configuration/Reset Functions. Vehicle Diagnostics includes Vehicle Wide DTCs. Systems Diagnostics includes Inspection/Maintenance Status and Inspection/Maintenance Information.

The fuse is the most common method of an automotive wiring circuit protection. Whenever there is an excessive amount of current flowing through a circuit the fusible element will melt and create an open or incomplete circuit. Fuses are a one time protection device and must be replaced each time the circuit is overloaded. To determine if a fuse is open, remove the suspected fuse and examine if the element in the fuse is broken (2). If not broken (1), also check for continuity using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) or a continuity tester. If the element is broken or continuity is suspect, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - CIRCUIT BREAKERS
A circuit breaker is a protective device that is designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess of the rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. Two types of circuit breakers are used.
Circuit Breaker
This type opens when excessive current passes through it for a period of time. It closes again after a few seconds, and if the cause of the high current is still present, it will open again. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle open and closed until the condition causing the high current is removed.
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) Circuit Breaker
This type greatly increases its resistance when excessive current passes through it. The excessive current heats the PTC device, as the device heats its resistance increases. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the circuit is effectively open. Unlike the ordinary circuit breaker the PTC unit will not reset until the circuit is opened, by removing the voltage from its terminals. Once the voltage is removed the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or 2.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - FUSIBLE LINKS
Special Tools
EL - 39200 Digital Multimeter (DMM)
For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools .
NOTE: When repairing a fusible link, fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approximately 9 in) will not provide sufficient overload protection.
Fusible link is wire designed to melt and break continuity when excessive current is applied. It is often located between or near the battery and starter or electrical center. Use a continuity tester or a Digital Multimeter (DMM) at each end of the wire containing the fusible link in order to determine if it is broken. If broken, it must be replaced with fusible link of the same gauge size.

Identifying Connectors
Knowing the connector manufacturer is helpful when trying to locating the correct connector repair procedure. There are many different connector designs used on GM vehicles and it is sometimes difficult to identify the connector manufacturer. The information in this document should help with the identification of connector manufactures.
The following connector manufacturers make most of the connectors found in GM vehicles:
AFL/EPC (Alcoa Fujikura Ltd./Engineered Plastics Components)
Bosch
Delphi
FCI (Framatome Connectors International)
JAE (Japan Aviation Electronics)
JST (Japan Solderless Terminals)
Kostal
Molex
Sumitomo
Tyco/AMP
Yazaki
Identifying the manufacturer of a connector is often difficult. When trying to determine the manufacturer of a connector, look for specific identifying marks that are unique to that connector supplier. Most of these identify marks are hard to find or see. Check the connector carefully and refer to the information below for pictures and descriptions of connector identification markings.

Most of AFL's connectors have EPC on their connector body. Some of the smaller connectors will not have any markings on them.
Fig. 6: View Of Bosch Identification On Connector Body Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
In some cases Bosch will actually be printed on the connector. If Bosch does not appear on the connector, look for the Bosch logo. The Bosch logo is a circle with a blunted arrow inside. This logo can appear anywhere on the connector and is often very small.
Fig. 7: View Of PED Identification On Connector Body Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
In some cases Delphi will actually be printed on the connector. If Delphi is not printed on the connector, look for PED. In both cases there is no specific orientation for Delphi or PED and they can appear anywhere on the connector.
