Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF. Disconnect the harness connector of the ECM.
- Probe the ground circuits with a test lamp that is connected to B+. The test lamp should illuminate.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, then test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for 11-14 volts between the battery positive voltage and the ground circuits of the ECM.
- If not within the specified range, test the battery positive voltage circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
