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.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the powertrain relay.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the relay coil control circuit and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the relay ignition 1 voltage circuit and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the relay ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay coil B+ and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay coil B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the relay switch B+ and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay switch B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal and the fuse for the ignition 1 voltage circuit is open, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit to the ECM for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Connect a test lamp between the relay coil B+ and the relay coil control circuit.
  7. Ignition ON, command the powertrain relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay coil control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  8. Connect a 20A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ and the relay ignition 1 voltage circuit.
  9. Ignition ON, engine OFF, monitor the EC Ignition Relay Feedback parameter with a scan tool. The parameter should display B+.
    • If the parameter does not display B+, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  10. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the relay.
