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, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.
- If the hood position does not display Open, refer to DTC P254F .
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
NOTE: The ignition voltage circuit supplies voltage to other components. Make sure you test all circuits for a short to ground or test all components for being shorted that share the ignition circuit. - Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the heater control circuit terminal 3 and B+.
- Engine idling for 2 minutes. Verify the test lamp illuminates or flashes.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the HO2S sensor.
