Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 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 primary fuel level sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 and the low reference circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is greater than 98 percent.
- 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 ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, perform the fuel level sensor component test before replacing the primary fuel level sensor.
NOTE:
If equipped, the following tests can be performed at an inline connector. See schematics for the corresponding terminals to test at.
