Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: B310 Fuel Pressure/Temperature Sensor
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Terminal 41 @ Control module harness
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
- Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 3 & Low Reference circuit terminal 1
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Terminal 40 @ Control module harness

- If less than 2 Ω, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition/Vehicle Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- Test for 4.8 and 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Low Reference circuit terminal 1
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Terminal 60 @ Control module harness
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition/Vehicle Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X3 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition On/Vehicle In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- Test or replace the component: B310 Fuel Pressure/Temperature Sensor
NOTE:
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
