Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the accelerator pedal. Allow sufficient time for the ECM to power down.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between each low reference circuit terminals A and F and ground.
- If greater than 5 ohms, 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 each 5-volt reference circuit terminals D and C and ground.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the 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 the affected 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- 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 E and B for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 2 of the APP sensor 1. Verify the scan tool parameter AP 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.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 of the APP sensor 2. Verify that the scan tool parameter 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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ECM.
- Test for less than 5 ohms on all APP sensor circuits between the following terminals:
- ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 1 to APP terminal E
- ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 18 to APP terminal B
- ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 47 to terminal D
- ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 67 to terminal C
- If greater than 5 ohms, repair the affected circuit.
- 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.
