Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Canyon and 2010 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel position sensor.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 8 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for less than 5 Ω of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 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.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 7 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, and the fuse is OK, replace the HVAC relay 87.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and the signal terminal 6.
- If not the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminals listed below and ground.
- Phase A terminal 3
- Phase B terminal 4
- Marker Pulse terminal 5
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the EBCM harness connector.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 30 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the steering wheel position sensor. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.
