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, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
- If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the scan tool IAT parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
- If colder than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the MAF/IAT sensor.
