Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2007 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2007 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the generator.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the generator turn ON signal and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the generator turn ON signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Engine running, test for greater than 3.5 volts between the generator turn ON signal and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the generator turn ON signal circuit for a short to ground, an open, or a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the circuit tests normal during the Ignition ON/Run tests, replace the generator.
