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.
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Verify a condition does not exist with the component: Blade @ Q38 Throttle Body
- Binding or Sticking @ Open/Closed - Position
- Open @ Engine Off
- Closed - Without spring pressure
WARNING:Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
- If a condition exists
Replace the component: Q38 Throttle Body
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q38 Throttle Body
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for greater than 10. 9 V between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If less than 10. 9 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 10. 9 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater
Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
- Test or replace the component: Q38 Throttle Body
NOTE:
Disconnecting the component electrical connector causes additional DTCs to set.
