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 at the accelerator pedal.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- Low reference circuit terminal A
- Low reference circuit terminal D
- If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit terminals listed below C and F and ground.
- 5 volt reference circuit terminal C
- 5 volt reference circuit terminal F
- If less than the specified range, test the appropriate 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- verify the scan tool APP sensor 1 and 2 voltages are less than 0.3 V.
- If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal E
- APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal B
- If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit listed below and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C. Verify the appropriate APP sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.8 V.
- APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal E
- APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal B
- If less than the specified range, test the appropriate 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, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
