Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 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 ambient air temperature sensor. Install a signal generator and instrument panel tester between the signal circuit and the low reference circuit.
- Ignition ON, vary the resistance on the signal generator from 2.5K to 230K. Verify that the temperature displayed on the ISRVM matches the ambient temperature resistance chart.
- If the temperature displayed is incorrect, test the signal circuit and the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ISRVM.
- If the temperature displayed is correct, replace the ambient air temperature sensor.
