Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, and 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the throttle body assembly.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, 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 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal E and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Test for less than 1 V between the TP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal D and ground.
- If greater than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between TP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal D and the 5 V reference circuit terminal E. Verify the scan tool TP sensor 1 voltage parameter is greater than 4.8 V.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the TP sensor 2 signal circuit terminal F and ground.
- If less than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the throttle body assembly.
