Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the yaw/lat sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If not within the specified value, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the 5 volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground at the yaw/lat sensor.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5 volt reference circuit for a short to voltage.
  6. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the 5 volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the 5 volt reference circuit for a short to ground.
  7. Ignition OFF, test for less than 2 ohms between the 5 volt reference circuit terminal 1 at the yaw/lat sensor harness connector and terminal 23 at the EBCM harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5 volt reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
  8. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit listed below and ground.
    • Yaw rate sensor test terminal 2
    • Yaw rate sensor terminal 4
    • Combined vehicle inertial sensor terminal 5
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  9. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit listed below and ground.
    • Yaw rate sensor test terminal 2
    • Yaw rate sensor terminal 4
    • Combined vehicle inertial sensor terminal 5
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
  10. Test for less than 2 ohms between the signal circuit terminals listed below.
    • Yaw rate sensor test terminal 2 at the yaw sensor harness connector and terminal 37 at the EBCM harness connector.
    • Yaw rate terminal 4 at the yaw sensor harness connector and terminal 16 at the EBCM harness connector.
    • Combined vehicle inertial sensor terminal 5 at the yaw sensor harness connector and terminal 38 at the EBCM harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
  11. If all circuits test normal, replace the yaw/lat sensor. If the DTC resets, replace the EBCM.
