Circuit/System Testing

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.
  1. Ignition ON, disconnect the accelerator pedal harness connector at the accelerator pedal. Allow sufficient time for the ECM to power down.
  2. Test for less than 3 ohms of resistance between each low reference circuit and ground.
    • If greater than 3 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between each 5-volt reference circuit and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 volts, test affected 5-volt reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
    • If greater than 5.2 volts, test affected 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool APP sensor 1 and 2 voltages are less than 0.1 volt.
    • If greater than 0.1 volt, test the APP sensor 1 and 2 signal circuits for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit of the APP sensor 1, and verify the APP sensor 1 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.
    • If less than 4.8 volts, test the APP sensor 1 signal circuit for an open, or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  6. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit and the 5-volt reference circuit of the APP sensor 2, and verify that the APP sensor 2 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.
    • If less than 4.8 volts, test the APP sensor 2 signal circuit for an open/high resistance, or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  7. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ECM.
  8. Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance on all APP sensor circuits.
    • If greater than 5 ohms, repair the affected circuit.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between APP sensor 1 signal circuit and APP sensor 2 signal circuit.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between APP sensor 1 signal circuit and APP sensor 2 signal circuit.
    • If all circuits test normal, replace the accelerator pedal.
