Circuit/System Testing
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
- Inspect the throttle body for the following conditions:
- A throttle blade that is NOT in the rest position
- A throttle valve that is binding open or closed
- A throttle blade that is free to move open or closed WITHOUT spring pressure
- If a condition is found, replace the throttle body assembly.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the throttle body.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 1 circuit terminal B and ground.
- If test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 2 circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 1 circuit terminal B and B+.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 2 circuit terminal A and B+.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, allow sufficient time for the ECM to completely power down. Connect a DMM between the motor control 1 circuit terminal B and ground.
- Measure for B+ on the motor control 1 circuit terminal B as the ignition is turned ON.
- If the peak voltage is not within 1 volt of B+, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, allow sufficient time for the ECM to completely power down.
- Measure for B+ on the motor control 2 circuit terminal A as the ignition is turned ON.
- If the peak voltage is not within 1 volt of B+, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the throttle body.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnecting the throttle body harness connector causes additional DTCs to set.
IMPORTANT:
When measuring peak voltage, ensure that the DMM is on the proper voltage scale and that the response time is set to 1 ms.
