Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Key OFF. Disconnect the X1 connector from the transfer case two/four wheel drive actuator position sensor also known as the rotational position sensor (RPS).
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Using the GY probe J 35616-2A, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit, RPS X1 pin B and a good ground (the ground terminal of the EL-49742
harness, black terminal).
- If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the affected circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test the affected circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Using the GY probes J 35616-2A, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5-volt reference circuit, RPS X1 pin B and the low reference circuit, RPS X1 pin A.
- If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Using the GY probes J 35616-2A, test for 4.5-5.0 V between the rotary position sensor signal circuit, RPS X1 pin C and a good ground.
- If the voltage is less than the specified range, test the rotary position sensor signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- If the voltage is greater than the specified range, test the rotary position sensor signal circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Using the GY probe J 35616-2A, test for greater than 500 Ω between the low reference circuit, RPS X1 pin A and all other pins of the RPS X1.
- If the resistance is less than the specified range, test the affected circuits for a shorted together condition. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Using the GY probe J 35616-2A, test for greater than 500 Ω between the 5-volt reference circuit, RPS X1 pin B and all other pins of the RPS X1.
- If the resistance is less than the specified range, test the affected circuits for a shorted together condition. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Key OFF. Disconnect TCCM connector X2.
- Using the GY probe J 35616-2A, test for greater than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit, TCSCS X2 pin 9 and all other pins of the TCCM X2.
- If the resistance is less than the specified range, test the affected circuits for a shorted together condition. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Using the GY probe J 35616-2A, test for greater than 10 Ω between the rotational position sensor circuit, TCSCS X2 pin 11 and all other pins of the TCCM X2.
- If the resistance is less than the specified range, test the affected circuits for a shorted together condition. If all circuits and connections test normal, test the TCCM for proper operation.
- Test the RPS for proper operation.
NOTE:
When test probing harness terminals, it is imperative to use the proper test probe from the most current version of the J 35616 Kit. Use of an improper test probe may deform the terminal, resulting in intermittent open conditions.
