Component 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.
NOTE:
Perform the Circuit/System Testing in order to verify the integrity of the TC vane position sensor circuits before proceeding with the Component Testing.
NOTE:
You must perform the Repair Verification after performing the Component Testing.
TC Vane Position Sensor
- Remove the TC vane position sensor.
- Connect the TC vane position sensor harness connector.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool TC Vane Position Sensor voltage while slowly depressing the plunger at the end of the TC Vane Position Sensor. The voltage should decrease smoothly from approximately 4.9-0.2 V.
- If the TC Vane Position Sensor voltage drops out or spikes, replace the TC vane position sensor. It is normal for the TC Vane Position voltage to quickly return to approximately 4.9 V as the plunger reaches its fully depressed position.
