Circuit/System Testing
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.
- If P0106 or P0121 is set, diagnose first.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Measure the battery voltage.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor.
- Connect a test lamp between the MAF sensor ignition 1 voltage circuit and a good ground.
- With the test lamp still connected, measure for battery voltage between the ignition 1 voltage circuit and a good ground.
- If the voltage is not within 0.75 volts of battery voltage, repair the high resistance in the circuit.
- Measure the voltage between the MAF sensor signal circuit and a good ground for 4.9-5.2 volts.
- If the voltage is less than 4.9 volts, test the circuit for high resistance, or an open.
- If the voltage is within 4.9-5.2 volts, test the circuit for a short to the IAT signal circuit or to any other 5-volt reference circuit.
- Turn OFF the ignition and all electrical accessories. Allow sufficient time for the control module to power down before taking a resistance measurement.
- Measure the resistance between the ground circuit of the MAF sensor and a good ground for less than 5 ohms of resistance. You should measure less than 5 ohms of resistance.
- If the resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair the high resistance in the ground circuit.
- Turn OFF the ignition and connect the red lead of the J 38522 to the signal circuit of the MAF sensor harness connector and the black lead to a good ground. See Special Tools .
- Start the engine and observe the MAF sensor for a range of 4,950-5,025 Hertz.
- If the MAF sensor is not within the specified range, test for intermittent or poor connections at the control module. If test OK, replace the control module.
- If the MAF sensor is within the specified range, test for intermittent or poor connections at the control module. If test OK, replace the MAF sensor.
IMPORTANT:
To set up the J 38522
, place the duty cycle to normal, the frequency to 5K, and the signal switch to 5 volts. See Special Tools
