Diagnostic Indicator Pattern 2, 3, 4 and 5
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 at the suspect rear object sensor.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, with the transmission in reverse, test for 8.2-8.8V between the supply voltage circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 2.
- If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to battery. If all circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
- Ignition ON, with the transmission in reverse, test for 7.2-9.2V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the object sensor low reference circuit terminal 2.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to battery. If all circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the suspect rear object sensors.
