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: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the powertrain relay.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the powertrain relay coil B+, and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the battery positive cable to the underhood fuse block.
  3. Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the powertrain relay coil B+ circuit and the control circuit.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Remove the test lamp.
  5. Command the powertrain relay ON, with a scan tool. Verify with a scan tool that the powertrain relay Ckt. Short Volts Test Status parameter is OK.
    • If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. Test the coil side of the powertrain relay for 65-110 ohms.
    • If not within the specified value, replace the relay.
  7. Ignition OFF, disconnect the ECM C1 connector.
  8. Test the powertrain relay control circuit for an open/high resistance.
    • If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Connect a 20 A fused jumper wire between the relay switch B+ and the relay ignition 1 voltage circuit.
  12. 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.
  13. If all circuits test normal, replace the relay.
