Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 0.1-4.9 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify the scan tool A/C High Side Pressure Sensor parameter is less than 0.1 volt.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the scan tool A/C Refrigerant High Side Pressure Sensor is greater than 4.9 volts.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor.
