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 boost gauge.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal D and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates when connected between the B+ voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the BCM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the boost gauge.
- Ignition ON, verify that the boost gauge performs a self test by the gauge dial moving up to the 0 kPa (0 psi) mark.
- If the boost gauge does not perform a self test, test the boost gauge signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the boost gauge.
