Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the generator.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, test for less than 1 volt between the generator turn on signal circuit terminal 1 X1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the generator turn on signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Engine running, command the GEN L-Terminal ON to 85% with a scan tool. Test for greater than 3.5 volts between the generator turn on signal and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the generator turn on signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the circuit tests normal, replace the generator.
