Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system by inspecting for the following conditions:
    • Loose clamps, cracks, or other damage in the air intake duct system
    • Splits, kinks or improper connections at the vacuum hoses
    • Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold and throttle body
    • A dirty, restricted, or deteriorating air filter element
    • A leaking, loose, disconnected, or cracked positive crankcase ventilation valve, pipe, or seal
    • A collapsed, restricted, or collapsed air intake duct
    • A misaligned or damaged air intake duct
    • Any objects blocking the air inlet probe of the MAF/IAT sensor
    • Any contamination or debris on the sensing elements in the probe of the MAF/IAT sensor
    • A cracked or damaged MAF sensor housing
    • Any water intrusion in the induction system
    • Any snow or ice build-up at the air cleaner, MAF or MAP sensors in cold climates
    • Any intake manifold leak
    • A MAP sensor seal that is leaking, missing, or damaged
    • Improperly installed components
    • An Intake Manifold Resonator with a leaking seal, or a cracked or broken housing
    • If a condition exists 

      Repair or replace component as appropriate.

    • If no condition exists 
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B75B Mass Air Flow /Intake Air Temperature sensor.
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 2 Ω 
  4. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal C and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition voltage circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for greater than 2 Ω between the ignition voltage circuit terminal C and ground.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If greater than 2 Ω, test all the components connected to the circuit and repair or replace as necessary.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
  5. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the engine control module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the engine control module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the engine control module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the engine control module.
    • If between 4.8-5.2 V 
  6. Ignition OFF, connect the leads of the EL-38522-A  Variable Signal Generator as follows:
    • Red lead to the signal circuit terminal A at the harness connector
    • Black leads to ground
    • Battery voltage supply lead to B+
  7. Set the EL-38522-A  Variable Signal Generator to the following specifications.
    • Signal switch to 5 V
    • Frequency switch to 5 KHz
    • Duty Cycle switch to Normal
  8. Engine idling, observe the scan tool MAF Sensor parameter. The scan tool MAF Sensor parameter should be between 4,950-5,050 Hz.
    • If not between 4,950-5,050 Hz. 

      If not between 4,950-5,050 Hz, replace the engine control module..

    • If between 4,950-5,050 Hz. 
  9. Test or replace the B75B Mass Air Flow /Intake Air Temperature sensor.
