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.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to SIR Service Precautions .
When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
- Front end sensor
- SDM module
- Front end sensor wiring harness connector
- SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the SDM and the appropriate sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal B and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, test the circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the following signal circuit terminals listed below:
- Front end sensor terminal B and SDM harness connector terminal 38.
- Right front side impact sensor terminal B and the SDM harness connector terminal 49.
- Left front side impact sensor terminal B and the SDM harness connector terminal 46.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the following front end sensor low reference circuit terminals listed below:
- Front end sensor terminal A and SDM harness connector terminal 39.
- Right front side impact sensor terminal A and the SDM harness connector terminal 48.
- Left front side impact sensor terminal A and the SDM harness connector terminal 47.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate sensor.
- Reconnect all SIR components. Ignition ON, with a scan tool clear and check for DTCs.
- If the DTC returns and is current, replace the SDM.
