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, remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
- Disconnect the harness connector at throttle body assembly.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal C 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.
- Install fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal E and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool TP sensor 1 voltage parameter is less than 0.3 V.
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5 volt reference circuit terminal E and the TP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal D. Verify the scan tool TP sensor 1 voltage parameter is greater than 4.89 V.
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify the scan tool TP sensor 2 voltage parameter is greater than 4.97 V.
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the TP sensor 2 signal circuit terminal F and ground. Verify the scan tool TP sensor 2 voltage parameter is less than 0.10 V.
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the throttle body assembly.
NOTE:
The control module or the sensor may be damaged if the circuit is shorted to battery positive voltage.
NOTE:
If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage.
