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 EBCM harness connector and connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit terminal going to the ABS pump motor, and to ground.
- Ignition ON, verify that the test lamp illuminates.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the open or high resistance in the battery positive voltage circuit.
- Connect a test lamp between the battery positive voltage circuit and pump motor ground circuit at the EBCM connector, verify that the test lamp illuminates.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, repair the open or high resistance in the pump motor ground circuit.
- Ignition OFF, remove the EBCM from the BPMV.
- Inspect the EBCM to BPMV connector for conditions such as damage, corrosion, or presence of brake fluid.
- If connector corrosion or damage is evident, replace BPMV and/or EBCM as necessary.
- If brake fluid is present, replace both BPMV and EBCM.
- Connect the EBCM harness to the EBCM with the BPMV still separated.
- Connect a test lamp between the pump motor circuits, internal EBCM side.
- Ignition ON, use the scan tool to perform the Pump Motor Test.
- If test lamp illuminates replace the BPMV.
- If test lamp does not illuminate replace the EBCM.
