Component 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.

NOTE: Circuit/System Testing must be performed before proceeding with Component Testing.

Dynamic Test

Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5 V reference terminal of the applicable APP sensor and 5 V. Install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal and a ground.
Sweep the sensor through the entire range while monitoring the voltage between the signal terminal and the low reference terminal with a DMM. the voltage should vary between 0.30-4.98 V with out any spikes or dropouts.
- If the voltage is not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
