Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds or until the ECM powers down.
  2. Disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with engine OFF and measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of the CMP sensor to a good ground with a DMM.
    • If the voltage measures 4.7-5.2 volts, replace the camshaft position sensor.
  4. With the DMM still connected to the 5-volt reference circuit, disconnect all other components connected to the 5-volt reference 1, one at a time. Refer to Diagnostic Fault Information above.
    • If voltage changes when one of the above components is disconnected, replace the component. Refer to the appropriate replacement procedure.
  5. Test the 5-volt reference 1 circuits for a short to ground or a short to voltage.
    • If no problem was found in the 5-volt reference circuit, replace the ECM.
