Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Chevrolet Malibu. 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 (SWPS).
- Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 10 Ω 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.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified value, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 2 Ω between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 at the steering wheel position sensor harness connector and terminal 25 at the EBCM harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuits listed below and ground.
- Steering Wheel Position Signal A terminal 5
- Steering Wheel Position Signal B terminal 6
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit listed below and ground.
- Signal A terminal 5
- Signal B terminal 6
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the signal circuit terminals listed below.
- Signal A terminal 5 at the steering wheel position sensor harness connector and terminal 39 at the EBCM harness connector.
- Signal B terminal 6 at the steering wheel position sensor harness connector and terminal 10 at the EBCM harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the steering wheel position sensor. If the DTC resets replace the EBCM.
