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.
- PPS module
- SDM module
- PPS wiring harness connector
- SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the inflatable restraint front PPS sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1.0 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
- If not within the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A 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 PPS module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the PPS module.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1.0 volt between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If not within the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm between the signal circuit terminal B at the sensor harness connector and terminal 6 at the PPS harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the inflatable restraint PPS sensor.
IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
