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 6 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Savana Special, 2007 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2007 GMC Savana, 2007 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2007 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Verify the scan tool MAF parameter is less than 1 g/s.
    • If greater than 1 g/s, test the signal circuit terminal 5 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 5 and the ignition circuit terminal 3. Verify the scan tool MAF parameter is greater than 500 g/s.
    • If less than 500 g/s, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. IMPORTANT: Do NOT drain the coolant at this time.
  7. Remove the air inlet tube to intake manifold. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Cooler Replacement . Perform steps 1-15.
  8. Visually inspect the EGR valve and verify the valve is in the closed position.
    • If the EGR valve is not in the closed position, replace the EGR valve.
    • If the EGR valve inspection is normal, replace the MAF/IAT sensor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
