Visual/Physical Inspection

  1. Inspect for aftermarket devices which can affect the operation of the power outlets. Refer to «Checking Aftermarket Accessories»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/ignition-switchsteering-lock/#wiring-systems-and-power-management-diagnostic-information-and-procedures__checking-aftermarket-accessories)
  2. Inspect the accessible system components or the visible system components for obvious damage or for obvious conditions which can cause the symptom.

Intermittent

Electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

Symptom List

Refer to Power Outlet Receptacle Malfunction in order to diagnose the system.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate accessory power receptacle or cigarette lighter receptacle.
  2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground. If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Verify that a test lamp illuminate between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground. If test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the accessory power receptacle.

Repair Procedures

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

Tools Required

J 42059 Cigar Lighter Socket Remover. See Special Tools .

Removal Procedure

  1. Remove the auxiliary power outlet fuse from the fuse block.
  2. Remove the receptacle: Look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the front of the receptacle. The J 42059 pushes the plastic latches from these tab windows and the receptacle can be pulled straight out. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) . Place one side of the "T" portion of the J 42059 into the tab window. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) . The J 42059 will not fit straight into the receptacle. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) . Angle the J 42059 slightly for insertion into the receptacle. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) . Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window. You must move the J 42059 handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) . Use the J 42059 to pull the receptacle straight out. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) .
  3. If J 42059 tool fails to release the lighter socket from the retainer, perform the following alternate method: See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) . Insert a small grinding tool with a cutoff wheel into the socket. Remove the plastic latches in the 3 mm (0.11 in) square windows. Use the J 42059 as directed above to remove the socket. See «Special Tools»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/body-electrical/#accessory-power-socket__special-tools) .

Installation Procedure

  1. Route the connector through the retainer. Align the accessory power receptacle retainer to the slot in the opening.
