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.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the battery current sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 5 volts between the battery current sensor supply voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the battery current sensor supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  4. Test for 5 volts between the battery current sensor signal circuit and ground.
    • If less than 5 volts, test the battery current sensor signal circuit terminal C for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the battery current sensor.
