Circuit/System Testing

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.
IMPORTANT: Fuel temperature overheating may be cause by a fuel heater element that is stuck on. Refer to Fuel Heater Always On .
  1. With ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe the Fuel Temperature and ECT Temperature parameters with a scan tool.
    • If the temperatures do not closely match each other when the engine has cold soaked overnight, test for a skewed fuel temperature sensor. Refer to Component Testing  in the diagnostic.
  2. Inspect for debris or damage to the cooling fins of the fuel cooler.
    • If a damaged fuel cooler was found, repair or replace the cooler.
