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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the APP sensor. Allow at least 60 seconds for the ECM to power down.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between each low reference circuit terminals A and F, and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between each APP sensor 5-volt reference circuit terminals C and D, and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the affected 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the affected 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify that the scan tool APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 parameters are less than 0.02 volt.
- If greater than 0.02 volt, test the applicable signal circuit terminals B or E for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between each signal circuit terminals B or E and the 5-volt reference circuit. Verify that the scan tool APP Sensor parameter is greater than 4.57 volts.
- If less than the specified range, test the applicable signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ECM.
- Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance on all APP sensor circuits between the following terminals:
- The ECM X2 signal circuit terminal 49 to APP terminal E
- The ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 21 to APP terminal B
- The ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 38 to APP terminal C
- The ECM X2 5-volt reference circuit terminal 15 to APP terminal D
- If greater than the specified range, repair the affected circuit for open/high resistance.
- Test for infinite resistance between APP sensor 1 and 2 signal circuits.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between signal circuits.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
- If the APP sensor tests normal, replace the ECM.
