WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the wheel speed sensor connector. Connect a 12 volt test light from B+ to the positive side of the wheel speed sensor connect terminal, and the other wheel speed connector terminal to a DMM positive lead and the other lead to ground. The DMM is set on the mA display.
    • If the reading is below 4 mA replace the wheel speed sensor.
  2. At the wheel speed sensor, set-up a DMM to measure current flow (mA/A). Spin the wheel very slowly. Measure for 4-8 mA on the low reading and 12-16 mA on the high reading.
    • If the low amperage output of the wheel speed sensor signal circuit is below 4 mA or above 8 mA or the high amperage output of the wheel speed sensor signal circuit is below 12 mA or above 16 mA replace the wheel speed sensor.
    • If all the circuits, and the wheel speed sensor test normal, replace the EBCM.
