Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the suspect rear object alarm sensor.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit 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 rear object alarm module.
- Ignition ON with the transmission in reverse, test for 8.2-8.8 volts between the rear object alarm sensor supply voltage circuit and the low reference circuit.
- If greater than 8.8V, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the object alarm module.
- If less than 8.2V, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object alarm module.
- Ignition OFF, test for greater than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the rear object alarm sensor signal circuit and ground.
- If less than 1.0 ohm, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object alarm module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the rear object alarm sensor signal circuit and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object alarm module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the rear object alarm module. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance along the signal circuit.
- If greater than 1.0 ohms, repair the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the suspect rear object alarm sensor.
