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.
- Ignition ON, verify that the instrument panel cluster (IPC) warning indicators are illuminated.
- If the IPC warning indicators are not illuminated, test the ignition circuit for a sort to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, replace the IPC.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect connector X1 at the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the MIL is not illuminated.
- If the MIL is illuminated, inspect the MIL control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
- Ignition ON, verify that the MIL illuminates with a 3A fused jumper between the MIL control circuit, ECM terminal X1-68, and ground.
- If the MIL does not illuminate, test the MIL control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
