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.
- 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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the accelerator pedal. Allow sufficient time for the ECM to power down.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between each low reference circuit terminals A and F and ground.
- If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between each 5-volt reference circuit terminals C and D and ground.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the affected 5-volt reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than 5.2 volts, test the affected 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool APP sensor 1 and 2 voltages are less than 0.1 volt.
- If greater than 0.1 volt, test the APP sensor 1 and 2 signal circuits terminals B and E for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal E and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal D of the APP sensor 1. Verify the scan tool parameter AP sensor 1 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the APP sensor 1 signal circuit for an open, or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal C of the APP sensor 2. Verify that the scan tool parameter APP sensor 2 voltage is greater than 4.8 volts.
- If less than 4.8 volts, test the APP sensor 2 signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ECM.
- Test for less than 5 ohms on all APP sensor circuits between the following terminals:
- ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 47 to APP terminal E
- ECM X1 signal circuit terminal 49 to APP terminal B
- ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 35 to terminal C
- ECM X1 5-volt reference circuit terminal 33 to terminal D
- If greater than 5 ohms, repair the affected circuit.
- Test for infinite resistance between APP sensor 1 signal circuit terminal E and APP sensor 2 signal circuit terminal B.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short between APP sensor 1 signal circuit and APP sensor 2 signal circuits.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the accelerator pedal.
