Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra and 2009 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Identify how to disable high voltage.
- Identify how to test for the presence of high voltage.
- Identify condition under which high voltage is always present and personal protection equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
- Ignition OFF, disable the high voltage at the drive motor generator battery. Refer to High Voltage Disabling .
- Remove the drive motor generator battery case upper cover, front cover and right side cover.
- Ignition OFF, connect the 12 V battery.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the current sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms between low the reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the drive motor generator battery control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.9-5.1 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the drive motor generator battery control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the drive motor generator battery control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.7-5.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the drive motor generator battery control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the drive motor generator battery control module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the current sensor.
WARNING:
Always perform the High Voltage Disabling procedure prior to servicing any High Voltage component or connection. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and proper procedures must be followed.
The High Voltage Disabling procedure will perform the following tasks:
Failure to follow the procedures exactly as written may result in serious injury or death.

NOTE:
The scan tool must be disconnected and the ignition switch OFF for 30 seconds for proper test results.
