Diagnostic Procedures
2000 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Cargo, 4.3 WSECTION Diagnostic Procedures
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing OBD system check, go to next step.
- Clear DTCs. Using Connector Test Kit (J-35616-A), backprobe signal and ground circuits of VSS connector. Raise vehicle wheels and place engine in operating gear. Check voltage with voltmeter on 200-volt AC scale. If voltage reading is constant, go to step 5. If voltage reading is not constant, go to next step.
- If voltage varies, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . If voltage does not vary, go to next step.
- If voltmeter indicates no voltage, go to step 11. If voltmeter does not indicate no voltage, go to step 12.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect VSS connector. With vehicle still raised, engine operating, transmission in gear and voltmeter on 200-volt AC scale, check voltage between VSS connector terminals. If voltage varies with RPM, go to step 7. If voltage does not vary with RPM, go to next step.
- Replace VSS. After replacing sensor, go to step 12.
- Check for poor connections at VCM and VSS. If a problem is found, go to step 9. If no problem is found, go to next step.
- Check for open or short in VSS signal and ground circuits. If a problem is found, go to step 10. If no problem is found, go to step 12.
- Repair connections. After repairs, go to step 12.
