Modes of Operation
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There is one normal mode of operation, with the spark under engine control module (ECM) control. If the crankshaft position (CKP) pulses are lost, the engine will not run. The loss of a camshaft position (CMP) signal may result in a longer crank time, since the ECM cannot determine which stroke the pistons are on. Diagnostic trouble codes are available to accurately diagnose the ignition system with a scan tool.
