Circuit/System Testing

2006 Chevrolet Suburban K2500, 6.0 USECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac CTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that Component Testing is performed before Circuit Testing when diagnosing wheel speed sensors.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  2. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the low reference circuit terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal 28
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal 17
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal 4
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal 3
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the wheel speed sensor
  3. Test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal 29
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal 6
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal 5
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal 2
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the wheel speed sensor.
  4. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the low reference terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal 28
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal 17
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal 4
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal 3
    • If less than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the following signal circuit terminals of the appropriate sensor listed below and ground.
    • LF Sensor circuit terminal 29
    • RF Sensor circuit terminal 6
    • LR Sensor circuit terminal 5
    • RR Sensor circuit terminal 2
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the wheel speed sensor.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.

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.
