Circuit/System Testing

2006 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 6.6 2SECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.
  • The vehicle rollover sensor
  • The SDM module
  • The vehicle rollover sensor harness connector
  • The SDM wiring harness connector
  1. Verify DTC B0090 39 is not set.
    • If DTC is set, replace the rollover sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rollover sensor and the SDM.
  3. Test for less than 5 ohms between the rollover sensor ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If greater then the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Test for less than 5 ohms between the serial data circuit terminal 5 and the SDM occupant sensor serial data circuit terminal 58.
    • If greater then the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  5. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the serial data circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater then the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage.
  6. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, test the circuit for a short to ground, if the circuit tests normal, replace the rollover sensor.
  7. With a scan tool, clear DTCs. Verify DTC B0090 is not set.
    • If DTC is set, replace the SDM.
