Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing wheel speed sensors.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the sensor signal circuit terminal and the low reference circuit and ground at the EBCM connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference and signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the wheel speed sensor signal and the low reference circuit and ground at the EBCM connector.
- If less than the specified value, test the low reference and signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Measure for 850-1350 Ω between the wheel speed sensor signal and low reference circuits at the EBCM connector.
- If greater than 1350 Ω test for an open/high resistance in the circuit or faulty wheel speed sensor.
- If less than 850 Ω test for a short between the circuits or faulty wheel speed sensor.
- If all circuits test normal replace the EBCM.
