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.
  1. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the accelerator pedal.
  2. Test for less than 3 ohms between each low reference circuit terminals A and D and ground.
    • If greater than 3 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between each 5-volt reference circuit terminals C and F and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 volts, test affected 5-volt reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • If greater than 5.2 volts, test affected 5-volt reference circuit for short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool APP sensor 1 and 2 voltages are less than 0.1 volt.
    • If greater than 0.1 volt, test the APP sensor 1 and 2 signal circuits terminals B and E for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal F of the APP sensor 1, verify the APP sensor 1 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.
    • If less than 4.8 volts, test the APP sensor 1 signal circuit for an open or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C of the APP sensor 2. Verify that the APP sensor 2 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.
    • If less than 4.8 volts, test the APP sensor 2 signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  7. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the ECM.
  8. Test for less than 5 ohms on all APP sensor circuits between the following terminals:
    • ECM X1 low reference circuit terminal 23 to APP connector terminal A
    • ECM X1 low reference circuit terminal 30 to APP connector terminal D
    • ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 29 to APP connector terminal E
    • ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 32 to APP connector terminal B
    • ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 36 to APP connector terminal C
    • ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 56 to APP connector terminal F
    • If greater than 5 ohms, repair the affected circuit.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal E and APP sensor 2 signal circuit terminal B.
    • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between APP sensor 1 signal circuit and APP sensor 2 signal circuits.
    • If all circuits test normal, replace the accelerator pedal.
