Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON, connect an appropriate device to the X80 Accessory Power Receptacle.
- Verify the device is powered by the X80 Accessory Power Receptacle. If the device is not powered Refer to Circuit/System Testing below. If the device is powered
- All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle or E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground. If greater than 10 ohms Ignition OFF. Test for less than 2 ohms in the ground circuit end to end. If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit. If less than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection. If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition ON.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal A and ground. If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good Ignition OFF. Test for less than 2 ohms in the control circuit end to end. If greater than 2 ohms, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit. If less than 2 ohms, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse. Refer to «Retained Accessory Power Malfunction»(/chevrolet/cruze/i-2012-2015/remont/ignition-switchsteering-lock/#wiring-systems-and-power-management-diagnostic-information-and-procedures) . If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open Ignition OFF. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal A and ground. If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit. If infinite resistance, replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle. If the test lamp illuminates
- Replace the appropriate X80 Accessory Power Receptacle or E32 Cigarette Lighter Receptacle.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair.

12 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Description and Operation
The 12 V accessory power receptacles are supplied with power by the accessory relay.
The vehicle is fitted with a cigarette lighter and/or with a 12 V accessory power receptacle. The cigarette lighter and accessory power outlets are controlled by an ignition operated relay. The accessory power receptacle and cigarette lighter are operational when the ignition is turned to either the On or the Accessories positions. To operate the cigarette lighter, press in the lighter knob. When the element is hot, the lighter automatically pops out and is ready for use.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Description
The alternating current (AC) accessory power outlet system consists of the accessory DC/AC power inverter module and the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery power to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) AC power to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC provides the usual connection for AC powered devices.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Operation
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 s delay. The accessory AC power system is protected against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Isolation Fault Protection
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI monitors the 110 V circuit for a short to vehicle chassis ground. If a 110 V AC short to ground is detected, the accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF, until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 s delay.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Overload Shutdown
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the current in the 110 V circuit is greater than 3.8 A for 1 s, or 2.5 A for 10 s. The module will turn ON again, when the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 s delay.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Internal Shutdown
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module will turn OFF if the B+ supply voltage is greater than 16.5 V or less than 11 V. The module will also turn OFF if the device temperature is greater than 85°C (185°F). The module will turn ON again, after the shutdown condition is corrected, and the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet.
