Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac Torrent and 2008 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF. Disconnect the harness connector of the module that set the DTC. Verify that there is less than 1.0 ohm between the ground circuits, terminals 1 and 31, and the negative battery terminal.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuits for an open/high resistance.
  2. Ignition ON. Test for 11-17 volts between the battery positive voltage circuits of the EBCM, terminals 16 and 46, and the ground circuits, terminals 1 and 31.
    • If not within the specified range, test the battery positive voltage circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the EBCM.
