Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 engine coolant temperature sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 minutes, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is colder than -40°C (-40°F).
    • If warmer than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the low reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is warmer than 140°C (284°F).
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B34 engine coolant temperature sensor.
