WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommend that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing the power brake booster actuator.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector from the power brake booster actuator.
- Test for less than 25.0 ohm of resistance between the harness connector terminal 5 and ground.
- If greater than 25.0 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Connect a test lamp between the actuator harness connector terminal 1 and terminal 5.
- Ignition ON, command the Active Brake Booster to ON and OFF with a scan tool.
- If the test lamp remains OFF during the commands, test for a short to ground or an open/high resistance on either control circuit. If the circuits test normal, replace the electronic brake control module EBCM.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuits for a short to battery positive. If the circuit tests normal, locate and repair the source of the vacuum leak.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the vacuum brake booster assembly.
- If all circuits test normal, and no vacuum leaks were found, replace the electronic brake control module (EBCM).
