Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q13 evaporative emissions vent solenoid valve.
- Ignition OFF, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal B or 2 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 and the B+ circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the B+ circuit and replace as necessary.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the B+ circuit terminal B or 2 and the control circuit terminal A or 1.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- Remove the test lamp, and install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal A or 1 and the B+ circuit terminal B or 2. Command the vent solenoid ON with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool vent solenoid Ckt. Short Volts Test Status Parameter is Fault.
- If not the specified value, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Q13 evaporative emissions vent solenoid valve.
