Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2018 GMC Yukon XL, 2018 GMC Yukon, 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2018 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify that there are no contaminants, water or too high of a concentration of ethanol in the fuel. Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis  and the J 44175 - A Instruction Manual.
    • Go to next step: If the fuel tested within acceptable levels 
  2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B198 Fuel Composition Sensor. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
  3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 5 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 ground connection.
    • Go to next step: If less than 5 Ω 
  4. Ignition ON.
  5. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse is not opened 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the B+ 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 good and voltage is supplied to the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse is opened 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the B+ circuit and ground
      • If less than infinite, repair the short to ground in the circuit.
      • If infinite, test all the components connected to the circuit, and repair or replace as necessary.
    • Go to next step: If the test lamp illuminates 
  6. Remove the test lamp.
  7. Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. 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, test or replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K20 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, test or replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 - 5.2 V 
  8. Ignition OFF, connect the J 38522 - A  Variable Signal Generator as instructed below:
    1. Connect the red lead to the signal circuit terminal 3 at the B198 Fuel Composition Sensor harness connector.
    2. Connect the battery voltage supply lead to B+.
    3. Connect the black lead to ground.
    4. Set the signal to 5 V.
    5. Set the frequency to 60 Hz.
    6. Set the Duty Cycle to Normal.
    7. Ignition ON.
  9. Verify the scan tool Fuel Composition Sensor parameter is at 60 Hz.
    • If not 60 Hz 

      Test or replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

    • Go to next step: If 60 Hz 
  10. Test or replace the B198 Fuel Composition Sensor.
