Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the yaw rate/lat sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for ignition voltage between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If not within the specified range, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the following terminal listed below and ground.
    • CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 18
    • CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 19
    • If greater than the specified value, test the appropriate serial data circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the yaw sensor/lateral accelerometer.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following terminal listed below and ground.
    • CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 18
    • CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 19
    • If not the specified value, test the appropriate serial data circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the vehicle yaw sensor/lateral accelerometer.
  7. Test for less than 2 ohms between the appropriate serial data circuit terminals listed below.
    • CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 18 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal 2 at the yaw/lat sensor harness connector.
    • CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 19 at the EBCM harness connector and terminal 1 at the yaw/lat sensor harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the appropriate serial data circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the yaw sensor/lateral accelerometer.
  8. Test for infinite resistance between the CAN Bus High serial data circuit terminal 18 and the CAN Bus Low serial data circuit terminal 19.
    • If not the specified value, repair the serial data circuits for a short together.
  9. If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
