Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected for 90 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the CMP sensor.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between low reference circuit terminal 2 of the connector and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 of the connector and ground.
- If less that the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal 1 of the connector and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between signal circuit terminal 1 of the connector and ground.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool 5-Volt Reference 1 Circuit Status parameter. The parameter should display OK.
- If the 5-Volt Reference 1 Circuit Status parameter does not display OK, test the signal circuit for a short to 5-volt reference. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the red lead of the J 38522 to the signal circuit terminal 1 of the connector. Connect the battery voltage supply to B+. Connect the black lead to ground.
- Set the J 38522 signal switch to 5 volts, the frequency to 60, and the Duty Cycle to Normal.
- Ignition ON, observe the CMP Sensor Signal Present parameter of the scan tool. The parameter should display YES.
- If the parameter does not display YES, replace the ECM.
- If the circuits test normal, replace the CKP sensor.
