Component 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.
NOTE:
You must perform the Circuit/System Testing before proceeding with Component Testing.
- Ignition OFF, inspect the crankshaft position sensor for correct installation. Remove the crankshaft position sensor from the engine and inspect the sensor O-ring for damage.
- If the sensor is loose, incorrectly installed, or damaged, replace the B26 crankshaft position sensor.
- Connect the crankshaft position sensor harness connector to the B26 crankshaft position sensor.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF. Observe the Crankshaft Position Sensor Active Counter parameter on the scan tool.
- Pass a flat steel object across the tip of the sensor repeatedly. The Crankshaft Position Active counter parameter should increment with each pass of the steel object.
- If the parameter does not increment, replace the B26 crankshaft position sensor.
