Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing wheel speed sensors.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the low reference circuit terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 45
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 34
- LR Sensor circuit terminal 36
- RR Sensor circuit terminal 43
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 46
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 33
- LR Sensor circuit terminal 37
- RR Sensor circuit terminal 42
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the low reference terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 45
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 34
- LR Sensor circuit terminal 36
- RR Sensor circuit terminal 43
- If less than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following signal circuit terminal of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 46
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 33
- LR Sensor circuit terminal 37
- RR Sensor circuit terminal 42
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate wheel speed sensor.
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the appropriate low reference circuit terminals listed below:
- LF sensor circuit terminal 45 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector
- RF sensor circuit terminal 34 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector
- LR sensor circuit terminal 36 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector
- RR sensor circuit terminal 43 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal B at the WSS harness connector
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below:
- LF sensor circuit terminal 46 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector
- RF sensor circuit terminal 33 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector
- LR sensor circuit terminal 37 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector
- RR sensor circuit terminal 42 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal A at the WSS harness connector
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
