Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the fuel level sensors.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM/PCM.
- Ignition ON, install a 3-amp fused jumper between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit. Verify the scan tool Fuel Level parameter is greater than 45.4 liters (12 gallons)
- If less than 45.4 liters, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM/PCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the fuel level sensors.
