Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF and all systems OFF, it may take up to for 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Disconnect the harness connector at the B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor.
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If 2 Ω or greater
- Disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open or high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the intake air temperature sensor 1 signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.NOTE: If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine control module or the sensor may be damaged.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 - 5.2 V
- Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
- If warmer than -39°C (-38°F).
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If colder than -39°C (-38°F).
- Ignition OFF, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 3, ignition ON.
- Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 1 parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
- If colder than 149°C (300°F).
- Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If warmer than 149°C (300°F).
- Test or replace the B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor.
