Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the generator.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECM GEN-F Terminal Signal parameter is 0 percent.
- If greater than the specified value, test the field duty cycle circuit terminal 2 X1 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the field duty cycle circuit terminal 2 X1 and B+. Verify the scan tool ECM GEN-F Terminal Signal parameter is greater than 95 percent.
- If less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the generator.
