Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2012 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 the Component Testing.
- Ignition OFF, remove the BARO sensor.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and the corresponding terminal of the BARO sensor.
- Install a jumper wire between the low reference circuit terminal 2 of the BARO sensor and ground.
- Install a jumper wire at terminal B of the BARO sensor.
- Connect a DMM between the jumper wire from terminal 3 of the BARO sensor and ground.
- Ignition ON, with the J-23738-A
mityvac or J-35555
metal mityvac, slowly apply vacuum to the sensor while observing the voltage on the DMM. The voltage should vary between 0-5.2 V without any spikes or dropouts.
- If the voltage reading is erratic, replace the BARO sensor.
