Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra, 2007 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2007 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify that the DTCs P0117, P0118, P2184 or P2185 are not set.
- If any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
- If the ignition has been OFF for 10 hours or more, the ECT sensor 1 and the ECT sensor 2 should be within 5°C (41°F) of each other, and also the ambient temperature. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF, and use a scan tool to observe the ECT sensor 2 and the ECT sensor 1 parameters. Compare those sensor parameters to each other, and to the ambient temperature. A comparison between ambient temperature and the coolant temperature sensors will determine which ECT is skewed.
- A quick comparison between ECT sensor 1 and ECT sensor 2 can be made at any time to determine which sensor is skewed.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
