Circuit/System Testing
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 yaw rate/lateral accelerometer.
- Test for less than 2 ohms of resistance between the ground circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for 11.8 - 12.2 volts between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for 5.5-7.0 volts between the CAN circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If less than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for 5.5-7.0 volts between the CAN circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If less than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for infinite ohm of resistance between the CAN circuit High, and Low terminals 2 and 3.
- If less than the specified range, test the CAN circuits for a shorted to each other. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the yaw rate/lateral accelerometer sensor.
