Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3:  This step tests for the proper voltage at battery positive voltage sense circuits of the BCM. If voltages are not within the proper operating range, the voltage sense circuits need to be tested.
  2. 4:  This step tests the ground sense circuits of the BCM.
  3. 5:  This step tests for the proper voltage of the circuits to the BCM. If voltage is not within the proper operating range, the battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the BCM need to be tested.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the Battery Voltage parameter in the body control module (BCM) data list.
Do any of the voltages differ by more than the specified value?		 3 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 3 
3 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the BCM.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Measure the voltage between the battery positive voltage circuits of the BCM and the ground sense circuits at terminal of the BCM.
Do the voltages differ by more than the specified value?		 3 V Go to Step 9  Go to Step 4 
4  Measure the voltage from the battery positive voltage circuits of the BCM to a good ground.
Do the voltages differ by more than the specified value?		 3 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
5 
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Measure the voltage between the battery positive voltage circuits of the BCM and the ground circuits of the BCM.
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?		 3 V Go to Step 9  Go to Step 6 
6 Measure the voltage between the battery positive voltage circuit of BCM and a good ground.
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?		 3 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the battery positive voltage circuits of BCM for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 9 
8 Test the ground sense circuits for a high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 9 
9 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the BCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Step 10 
10 Replace the BCM. Refer to Control Module References for BCM replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 11  -
11
  1. Use the scan tool in order to clear the DTCs.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC, as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 2  System OK
