Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra, 2007 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2007 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system by inspecting for the following conditions:
- Damaged components
- Loose or improper installation
- Restrictions or leaks in the air induction system
- Water intrusion
- In cold climates, inspect for any snow or ice build-up.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the IAT sensor low reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the IAT sensor low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the MAF signal circuit and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the MAF signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the MAF signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Remove the air inlet tube to the intake manifold. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Cooler Replacement . Perform steps 1-6.
- Visually inspect the EGR valve and verify the valve is in the closed position.
- If the EGR valve is not in the closed position, replace the EGR valve.
- If the EGR valve inspection is normal, replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
- If all circuits and the EGR valve test normal, test or replace the MAF sensor.
