Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the brake booster pressure sensor or the base brake fluid pressure sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify the scan tool brake booster or base brake fluid pressure sensor parameter is in the correct range.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal. Verify the scan tool brake booster or base brake fluid pressure sensor parameter is greater than correct range.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the brake booster or base brake fluid sensor.
IMPORTANT:
All electrical components and accessories must be turned OFF, and allowed to power down.
