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 connectors at the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuits to ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, measure between the Ignition 1 circuits and the ground circuits. The readings should not differ by more than 2 volts than the battery terminal voltage.
- If greater than the specified value, test the Ignition 1 circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the ECM.
- Ignition 1 signal 3.6L engine X2 terminals 1- 3- 17- 58.
- Ground circuit 3.6L engine X1 terminal 49.
- Ignition 1 signal 5.3L engine X1 terminal 19 and X2 terminal 13
- Ground circuit 5.3L engine X2 terminal 73
- If greater than the specified value, test the Ignition 1 circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal replace the ECM.
- If the circuits test normal replace the ECM.
