Diagnostic Test
- ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Diagnose any CAN - C Communication DTCs before continuing.
- Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.WARNING:
When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE:Diagnose and repair any system voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.
- With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the DTC Active at this time?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
- AAT SENSOR
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor harness connector.
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- With the scan tool, read AAT Sensor voltage.
- Connect a jumper wire between the (G31) AAT Signal circuit and the (G931) AAT Return circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.NOTE:
The sensor voltage should be approximately 0.0 Volts (plus or minus 0.1 of a Volt) with the jumper wire in place.
Does the scan tool display the voltage as described above?
Yes
- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Sensor and Control Module connectors. Replace the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor if no problems were found with the connectors. Refer to SENSOR, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, REMOVAL .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3NOTE:
Remove the jumper wire before continuing.
- (G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the C4 TIPM harness connector.
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- Measure the voltage on the (G31) AAT Signal circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the short to voltage in the (G31) AAT Signal circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- (G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Measure the resistance of the (G31) AAT Signal circuit from the AAT Sensor harness connector to the C4 TIPM harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the open in the (G31) AAT Signal circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- (G931) AAT RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the (G931) AAT Return circuit from the AAT Sensor harness connector to the C4 TIPM harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the open in the (G931) AAT Return circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (G931) AAT Return circuit from the AAT Sensor harness connector to the C4 TIPM harness connector.
- TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the AAT Sensor and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Sensor and Control Module connectors.
- Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Replace and program the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER (TIPM), REMOVAL .
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
