Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Isuzu i-370, 2008 Isuzu i-290, 2008 GMC Canyon, and 2008 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the generator.
  2. Ignition ON, GEN L-Terminal Signal Command 0%, test for less than 1 volt between the generator turn on signal circuit terminal 1 X1 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 GBCM.
  3. Command the GEN L-Terminal Signal ON to 80% duty cycle with a scan tool. Test for 3.0 volts between the generator turn on signal circuit terminal 1 X1 and ground.
    • If less than the specified value, test the generator turn on signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the GBCM.
  4. If the circuit tests normal, replace the generator.
