Circuit/System Testing (w/LY7)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the fuel injector multi-way harness connector.
- Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the appropriate ignition voltage supply circuit on the ECM side of the multi-way connector and ground. Verify that the test lamp illuminates.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse is open, repair the appropriate ignition circuit for a short to ground between the corresponding fuel injectors and the fuse. Replace the fuse.
IMPORTANT: The ignition voltage circuits supply voltage to other components. Make sure you test all circuits for a short to ground or test all components for being shorted that share the ignition circuit.- If the test lamp does not illuminate and the fuse is OK, repair the ignition voltage circuit for an open/high resistance between the multi-way connector and the fuse.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate injector control circuit, ECM side of the multi-way harness connector, and B+. The test lamp should not illuminate.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the appropriate injector control circuit, ECM side of the multi-way harness connector, and ground. The test lamp should not illuminate.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 2.6-4.6 volts between the appropriate injector control circuit, ECM side of the multi-way connector, and ground.
- If the voltage is not within the specified range, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to Upper Intake Manifold Replacement (LP1, LY7) .
- Disconnect the fuel injector connectors.
- Test for continuity between the ignition voltage circuit(s) and the appropriate fuel injector control circuit, at the fuel injector side of the multi-way harness connector, the DMM should display OL.
- If less than OL repair the short between the ignition voltage circuit and the control circuit.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the appropriate ignition voltage circuit, between the injector connector(s) and the multi-way connector.
- If greater than 1 ohm repair the open/high resistance in the ignition voltage circuit.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the suspected control circuit, between the injector connector and the multi-way connector.
- If greater than 1 ohm repair the open/high resistance in the fuel injector control circuit.
- Test for continuity between appropriate fuel injector control circuit and ground. The DMM should display OL.
- If less than OL repair the short to ground in the fuel injector control circuit.
- Test for continuity between the suspected fuel injector control circuit and all the other control circuits of the fuel injectors. The DMM should display OL.
- If less than OL is measured between any of the control circuits, repair the wire to wire short between those circuits.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the appropriate fuel injector(s).
IMPORTANT:
Disconnecting the multi-way harness connector causes DTCs P0201-P0206 fuel injector circuit open DTCs to set.
