Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the EOP sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the low reference circuit terminal A for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B and low reference circuit terminal A.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than 5.2 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter is greater than 550 kPa (80 psi).
- If less than 550 kPa (80 psi), test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper between the signal circuit terminal C and the low reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Pressure Sensor parameter is less than 8 kPa (1.2 psi).
- If greater than 8 kPa (1.2 psi), test the signal circuit terminal C for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, command the indicators OFF with the scan tool.
- If the EOP indicator does not turn OFF, replace the IPC.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the EOP sensor.
