Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon and 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
- Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description .
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays OPEN.
- If the hood position does not display OPEN, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for DTC P254F.
- Inspect the throttle body for the following conditions:
- A throttle blade that is NOT in the rest position
- A throttle valve that is binding open or closed
- A throttle blade that is free to move open or closed WITHOUT spring pressure
- If a condition is found, replace the throttle body assembly.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the throttle body.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 1 circuit terminal A and ground.
- If test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 2 circuit terminal B and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 1 circuit terminal A and B+.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between motor control 2 circuit terminal A and B+.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the motor control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, allow sufficient time for the ECM to completely power down.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between motor control 1 circuit terminal A and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between motor control 2 circuit terminal B and B+.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the throttle body.
