Circuit/System Testing

2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer ACTIV, FWDSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 & X5 @ K9 Body Control Module
  3. Connect a jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 6 X1 & Ground
  4. Momentarily connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 X5 & B+

    Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire: M30 Liftgate Latch

    • If the component does not turn On and Off 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector: X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 X5 @ Control module harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 8 X5 @ Control module harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
      • Control circuit terminal 8 X5 @ Control module harness & Terminal 14 X2 @ Fuse/Junction Block Harness
      • Control circuit terminal 6 X1 @ Control module harness & Terminal 20 X1 @ Fuse/Junction Block Harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Test or replace the component: X50A Fuse Block - Underhood
    • Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off 
  5. Replace the component: K9 Body Control Module

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.
