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.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing wheel speed sensors.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the low reference circuit terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 34
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 6
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 21
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 18
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the low reference terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 34
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 6
- If less than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Test for infinite resistance between the following signal circuit terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
- LF Sensor circuit terminal 21
- RF Sensor circuit terminal 18
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate WSS.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the appropriate low reference circuit terminals listed below.
- LF Sensor circuit terminals 34 at the EBCM harness connector, and terminal 1 at the WSS harness connector
- RF Sensor circuit terminals 6 at the EBCM harness connector, and terminal 1 at the WSS harness connector
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the appropriate signal circuit terminals listed below.
- LF Sensor circuit terminals 21 at the EBCM harness connector, and terminal 2 at the WSS harness connector
- RF Sensor circuit terminals 18 at the EBCM harness connector, and terminal 2 at the WSS harness connector
- If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
