Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
If a solar load sensor has an out of range condition caused by a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance, the scan tool will display the same value: 225 counts.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the sunload sensor.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the ground circuit terminal C and the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below:
- Left solar load sensor circuit terminal A.
- Right solar load sensor circuit terminal B.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the HVAC control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the sunload sensor.
