Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2010 GMC Yukon XL, 2010 GMC Yukon, 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2010 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the G13 generator B+ terminal 1 X2 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the generator.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 V between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the generator.
