Circuit/System Testing
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.
IMPORTANT:
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Test the following circuits for an open, a short to ground, or a short to voltage:
- The IAH command 1 circuit
- The IAH command 2 circuit
- The IAH voltage signal circuit
- If a condition was found on any of the circuits repair as necessary.
- Connect any circuits that were disconnected. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe that the scan tool displays the IA Heater Driver Shorted parameter as OK.
- If the IA Heater Driver Shorted parameter displays Fault, replace the intake air heater.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe that the scan tool displays the Glow Plug Driver Shorted parameter as OK.
- If the Glow Plug Driver Shorted parameter displays Fault, replace the Glow Plug Control Module.
- Disconnect the IAH. Turn ON the ignition. With a DMM measure between command 2 circuit terminal 3 and a good ground on the harness side of the connector for 0.78-1.1 Hz.
- If the DMM does not measure between 0.78-1.1 Hz ohms, replace the GPCM.
- Do not install the jumper wire between 12 volts and the command circuit for more the 20 seconds.
- Set the DMM to the 4V AC hertz scale.
- Turn OFF the ignition. Install a jumper wire between the IAH harness temperature signal circuit terminal 1 and the corresponding terminal on the IAH.
- Install a jumper wire between the IAH harness command two circuit terminal 3 and the corresponding terminal on the IAH.
- Supply 12 volts to terminal 2 on the IAH.
- Turn ON the ignition. Measure for 1 hertz on terminal 5 at the IAH.
- If 0.7-1.1 hertz is measured on terminal 5, replace the GPCM.
- If 0.7-1.1 hertz is not measured on terminal 5, replace the IAH.
IMPORTANT:
Set the DMM to the 4V DC hertz scale.
