Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the 3 way harness connector at the brake booster vacuum sensor.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than 1.0 ohm, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.5 - 5.3 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than 4.5 volts, 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 5.3 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for 4.5 - 5.3 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 and the signal circuit terminal 1.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If greater specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the brake booster vacuum sensor.
