Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- An empty fuel tank or a defective fuel pump may cause DTCs to set.
- If set only as a history DTC, do not replace any component.
- Verify the fuel tank is not empty before proceeding.
- It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector : A7 Fuel Pump and Level Sensor Assembly
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points : Low Reference circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector : K38 Chassis Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points : Low Reference circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Terminal 38 @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component : K38 Chassis Control Module
- Go to next step : If less than 10 ohms
- Connect a test lamp between the test points : Control circuit terminal 1 & Low Reference circuit terminal 2
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Perform the scan tool control function : Fuel Pump Enable Command @ Engine Control Module - On and Off
Verify the test lamp turns On and Off.
- If the test lamp is always Off
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector : K38 Chassis Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points : Control circuit terminal 1 @ 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 & Terminal 13 @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component : K38 Chassis Control Module
- If the test lamp is always On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the electrical connector : K38 Chassis 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
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component : K38 Chassis Control Module
- Go to next step : If the test lamp turns On and Off
- Test or replace the component : A7 Fuel Pump and Level Sensor Assembly
