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.
- Disconnect the AT inline 20-way connector. Install the J 44152
jumper harness (20 Pins), on the engine side of the AT inline 20-way connector. See Special Tools
. Using the J 35616
GM-approved terminal test kit, connect a test lamp between the affected control circuit and ground. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. The test lamp should be OFF.
- If the test lamp is ON, test the affected control circuit for a short to voltage between the Fuse Block-Underhood and the AT inline 20-way connector.
- Disconnect the J 44152
from the engine harness. See Special Tools
. Connect the J 44152
to the transmission side of the AT inline 20-way connector. See Special Tools
. Using theJ 35616
, measure the resistance between the affected control circuit and the ignition 1 voltage circuit. Resistance should be between 19-31 ohms for the 1-2 SS and the 2-3 SS. Resistance should be between 10-15 ohms for the TCC PWM solenoid valve.
- If the resistance is less than the specified value, test for a short to the ignition 1 voltage circuit or a faulty solenoid.
- Using the J 35616
, measure the resistance between the affected control circuit and all other circuits in the J 44152
except the ignition 1 voltage circuit and the other control circuits. See Special Tools
. Resistance should be greater than 250K ohms.
- If resistance is less than 250K ohms, test the control circuit for a short to another circuit.
