Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra, 2010 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2010 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2010 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the accelerator pedal.
- Ignition OFF for 1 minute, test for less than 5 Ω between the appropriate low reference circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- APP sensor 1 terminal F or 4
- APP sensor 2 terminal A or 5
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the appropriate 5 V reference circuit terminal listed below and ground.
- APP sensor 1 terminal D or 2
- APP sensor 2 terminal C or 1
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Observe the scan tool APP sensor 1 voltage parameter. Verify the voltage is less than 0.3 V.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal E or 3 for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Observe the scan tool APP sensor 2 voltage parameter. Verify the voltage is less than 0.3 V.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal B or 6 for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal E or 3 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal C or 1. Verify the APP 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/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the APP sensor 2 signal circuit terminal B or 6 and the 5 V reference circuit terminal C or 1. Verify the APP sensor 2 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/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the Accelerator Pedal Assembly.
