Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine control module (ECM) has 2 internal 5-volt reference busses called 5-volt reference 1 and 5-volt reference 2. Each reference bus provides 5-volt reference circuits for more than one sensor. Therefore, a fault condition on one 5-volt reference circuit will affect the other 5-volt reference circuits connected to that reference bus. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference busses.
The 5-volt reference 1 bus provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
- The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- The fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor
- The air conditioning (A/C) refrigerant pressure sensor
- The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2
- The engine oil pressure (EOP) sensor
- The camshaft position (CMP) sensor
The 5-volt reference 2 bus provides 5 volts to the following sensors:
- The APP sensor 1
- The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2
- The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor
