Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 GMC Savana 3500, 2019 GMC Savana 2500, 2019 Chevrolet Express 3500, and 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Verify proper engine oil level before continuing with diagnosis.

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B35 Engine Oil Level Switch. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    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.
    • Go to next step: If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Level Switch parameter reads Low.
    • If the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter reads OK 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter reads Low 
    5. NOTE:

    If a short to voltage is found on the signal circuit, the fuse in the 3A jumper wire will open.

  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the ground circuit terminal B.
  6. Verify the scan tool Engine Oil Level Switch parameter reads OK.
    • If the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter reads Low 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 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
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance on the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • Go to next step: If the Engine Oil Level Switch parameter reads OK 
  7. Test or replace the B35 Engine Oil Level Switch.
