Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2011 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, inspect the throttle body for the following conditions:
- A throttle blade that is not in the rest position
- A throttle blade 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 assembly.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not continuously illuminate between each control circuit listed below and ground.
- TAC Motor Control Closed circuit terminal A
- TAC Motor Control Open circuit terminal B
- If test lamp continuously illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between each control circuit listed below and B+.
- TAC Motor Control Closed circuit terminal A
- TAC Motor Control Open circuit terminal B
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, set the DMM to the 40 V scale, select the Min/Max Recording Mode, and set the Peak Min/Max response time to 1 ms.
- The DMM Min/Max Recording Mode and the response time of 1 ms must be reset after testing each circuit or a lower voltage will be recorded.
- The ignition must be OFF and the ECM completely powered down before testing each circuit or a lower voltage will be recorded.
- Ignition OFF, measure the voltage using the DMM Min/Max Recording Mode function on each circuit listed below as the ignition is turned ON. The Max voltage should be within 1 V of B+.
- TAC Motor Control Closed circuit terminal A
- TAC Motor Control Open circuit terminal B
- If not within the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits and connections test normal, replace the throttle body assembly.
WARNING:
Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
NOTE:
Disconnecting the throttle body harness connector causes additional DTCs to set.
NOTE:
