Circuit/System Verification
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:
Determine the ambient temperature by using an accurate thermometer.
- If the ignition has been OFF for greater than 5 hours, determine which EGT sensor is skewed by comparing EGT Sensor 1 and 2 parameters to the ambient temperature with a scan tool. The readings should be within 19°C (66°F) of each other and also the ambient temperature.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool EGT Sensor 1 and 2 parameters. The readings should be between -40 to +999°C (-38 to +1,830°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
