- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the PIM.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the PIM case and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground strap for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PIM.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the following voltage circuit terminals of the PIM and ground.
- Terminal 6
- Terminal 7
- Terminal 20
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the signal circuit terminal 19 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SDGM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X3 at the engine control module.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm on the high speed hybrid GMLAN serial data circuits between the following ECM and PIM circuit terminals.
- ECM X 3 terminal 53 and PIM X 1 terminal 11
- ECM X 3 terminal 33 and PIM X 1 terminal 10
- If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for open/high resistance
- If all circuits test normal, replace the PIM.
