Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the CPP sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal A and the negative post of the battery.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference 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 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool CPP sensor parameter is less than 0.1 volt.
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C. Verify that the scan tool CPP sensor parameter is between 4.8-5.2 volts.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the CPP sensor.
