Diagnostic Test

  1. AAT SENSOR VOLTAGE BELOW 0.078 OF A VOLT 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, read the AAT voltage.

      Is the voltage below 0.078 of a volt?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. AAT SENSOR 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the AAT harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. With a scan tool, read AAT voltage.

      Is the voltage above 1.0 volt?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (G931) AAT RETURN CIRCUIT

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the C4 TIPM harness connectors.
    3. Measure the resistance between the (G931) AAT Return circuit and the (G31) AAT Signal circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (G31) AAT Signal circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. TIPM 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
