Diagnostic Test

  1. AAT SENSOR VOLTAGE ABOVE 4.98 VOLTS 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, read the AAT voltage.

      Is the voltage above 4.98 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. AAT SENSOR

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the AAT harness connector.
    3. Connect a jumper wire between the (G31) AAT Signal circuit and the (G931) AAT Return circuit in the AAT harness connector.
    4. Ignition on, engine not running.
    5. With a scan tool, read AAT voltage.

      Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wire installed?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
        NOTE: Remove the jumper wire before continuing.
  3. (G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the C4 TIPM harness connectors.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (G31) AAT Signal circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.

      Is voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 3: Checking AAT Signal Circuit

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (G31) AAT Signal circuit between he AAT Sensor harness connector and C4 TIPM harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (G931) AAT RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 4: Checking AAT Return Circuit

    1. Measure the resistance of the (G931) AAT Return circuit between the AAT Sensor harness connector and the C4 TIPM harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. 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
