Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, remove the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement (RPOs LC9, LMG, LY5, L76) , Intake Manifold Replacement (RPOs LY2, LY6) , Intake Manifold Replacement (Except RPOs LY2, LY6, LC9, LMG, LY5) .
- Disconnect the harness connector at the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal E and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the ignition circuit terminal E and the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid control circuit terminal listed below.
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 1 terminal C
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 2 terminal A
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 3 terminal B
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 4 terminal D
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between ground and the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid control circuit terminal listed below.
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 1 terminal C
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 2 terminal A
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 3 terminal B
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 4 terminal D
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal E and the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid control circuit terminal listed below.
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 1 terminal C
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 2 terminal A
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 3 terminal B
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 4 terminal D
- Command the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid ON with a scan tool. Verify the test lamp illuminates with each command.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all the circuits test normal, test or replace the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
NOTE:
If any of the scan tool circuit status parameters displayed "Fault" during the Circuit/System Verification, inspect the wiring harness for signs of binding, chaffing or pinching before intake manifold removal.
