Component 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: You must perform the Circuit/System Testing in order to verify the integrity of the exhaust differential pressure sensor circuits before proceeding with Component Testing.
  1. Ignition OFF, remove the exhaust differential pressure sensor.
  2. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and the corresponding terminal of the exhaust differential pressure sensor.
  3. Install a jumper wire between the low reference circuit terminal 1 of the exhaust differential pressure sensor and ground.
  4. Install a jumper wire at terminal 2 of the exhaust differential pressure sensor.
  5. Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from terminal 2 of the exhaust differential pressure sensor and ground.
  6. Ignition ON, with the J 23738-A  or J 35555  connected to the exhaust differential pressure sensor rear pressure port, slowly apply vacuum while monitoring the voltage on the DMM. See Special Tools . The voltage should vary between 4.9-0.4 volts without any spikes or dropouts.
    • If the voltage is erratic, replace the exhaust differential pressure sensor.
