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 EVAP purge solenoid.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1 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 voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
- Test for 2.6-4.6 V between the control circuit terminal 2 and the ECM housing.
- 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 tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Command the EVAP purge solenoid from 0 to 100 % with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from 2.5-3.5 V at 0 % to less than 0.1 V, when commanded to 100 %.
- If the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the EVAP purge solenoid.
