Circuit/System Testing (ECM)
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 multi-way harness connector X161 at the rear of the intake manifold.
- Remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
- Testing for steps 3 through 7 is performed on the ECM side of the multi-way harness connector.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install the 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 11 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference 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 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool FRP sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.96 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 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 12 and the low reference circuit terminal 5. Verify the scan tool FRP voltage parameter transitions from greater than 4.96 V to less than 0.02 V
- If the parameter does not transition from the maximum to minimum value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, remove the intake manifold.
- Disconnect the FRP sensor connector.
- Remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal X2-56 of the ECM.
- Testing for steps 11 through 15 are performed at the FRP sensor connector.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Install the 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 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool FRP sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.96 V.
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Connect a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the scan tool FRP voltage parameter transitions from greater than 4.96 V to less than 0.02 V
- If the parameter does not transition from the maximum to the minimum value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the FRP sensor.
