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.
- With the engine running, monitor the Cylinder 1-8 IC Ckt. Status parameters with a scan tool.
- If a short to GND or Open status test displays FAULT, test for an open/high resistance or short to ground on the affected IC circuit terminal C.
- If a short to volts status test displays FAULT, test for a short to voltage on the affected IC circuit terminal C.
- Exchange the affected ignition coil/module with the ignition coil/module of a cylinder that is not affected.
- Start and run the engine. With a scan tool, monitor the IC circuit parameters and the Misfire Current counters.
- If the circuit status fault identified or the misfire transfers with the ignition coil/module, replace the ignition coil/module assembly.
- If the circuit status fault identified or the misfire does not transfer with the ignition coil/module, replace the ECM.
IMPORTANT:
A high resistance on any IC circuit can cause a misfire condition before DTCs P0351-P0358 set.
