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.
- Disconnect the coolant pump relay.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the relay controlled output circuit terminal 87 and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the relay controlled output circuit for a short to voltage.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal 85 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay coil B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the relay coil B+ circuit fuse is open, test the relay controlled output circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the coolant pump relay.
- Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay switch B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate DMCM coolant pump.
- Test for less than 5.0 ohms between the coolant pump ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect the harness connector at the coolant pump.
- Connect a 15 A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ circuit terminal 30 and the relay controlled output circuit terminal 87. Verify the coolant pump is activated.
- If the coolant pump does not activate, test the relay controlled output circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the coolant pump.
- Connect a test lamp between the relay coil B+ circuit terminal 85 and the relay coil control circuit terminal 86.
- Command the DMCM coolant pump ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the relay.
