Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the yaw and lateral acceleration sensor.
  2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal D 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 EBCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B 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 EBCM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. Verify the scan tool Yaw Rate Signal parameter is less than 0 volt.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the yaw rate sensor signal circuit terminal C for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal B. Verify the scan tool Lateral Accelerometer Signal is greater than 4.8 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the yaw and lateral acceleration sensor.
