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.
- With the ignition ON, disconnect the PWR/TRN relay and observe with the scan tool for loss of communication.
- If the scan tool can still communicate with the vehicle, test the IGN 1 voltage circuit supplied by the ECM relay for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
- With the ignition OFF, probe the relay control circuit 19 X2 at the underhood electrical center with a test lamp connected to battery voltage.
- If the test lamp illuminates test the relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
- With the ignition ON, probe the relay control circuit 19 X2 at the underhood electrical center with a test lamp connected to a good ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, repair the short to voltage.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, replace the relay.
IMPORTANT:
You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
