Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Inspect for damage to the TC wastegate actuator solenoid valve.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the TC wastegate actuator solenoid valve.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the voltage supply circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If a test lamp does not illuminate test the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and the voltage supply circuit terminal 2.
- Command the TC Wastegate Solenoid parameter to 50 percent with a scan tool. The test lamp should illuminate and flash rapidly when commanded to 50 percent and turn OFF when commanded to 0 percent.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the circuits test normal, test or replace the TC wastegate actuator solenoid valve.
