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 at the generator.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Engine running, test for greater than 3.5 volts between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, an open or a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuit tests normal, test or replace the generator.
