Circuit/System Testing

2006 Chevrolet Suburban K2500, 6.0 USECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Yukon XL, 2007 GMC Yukon, 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2007 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the BCM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between each voltage input circuit of the BCM and ground.
    • If less than battery voltage, test each voltage output circuit of the BCM for a short to ground, and each voltage input circuit of the BCM for a short to ground or and open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
  4. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between each ground circuit of the BCM and ground.
    • If greater than 1 ohm, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  5. Attempt to communicate with the electronic brake control module (EBCM). Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, test or replace the resistor.
  6. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the suspension control module.
  7. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the suspension control module and the terminator resistor. If the circuits test normal, replace the suspension control module.
  8. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the distance sensing cruise control module.
  9. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, replace the cruise control module.
  10. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM).
  11. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the between the VCIM and the suspension control module. If the circuits test normal, replace the VCIM.
  12. Ignition OFF, disconnect BCM harness connector C3.
  13. Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuits of BCM harness connector C3 terminal 8 and ground and between BCM harness connector C3 terminal 9 and ground.
    • If less than infinite, test the circuit for a short to ground.
  14. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the ECM. Connect the harness connector C3 of the BCM.
  15. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, replace the ECM.
  16. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the transmission control module (TCM).
  17. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the TCM and the ECM. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCM.
  18. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector of the suspension control module. Disconnect the harness connector of the EBCM.
  19. Attempt to communicate with the suspension control module. Communication should not be available.
    • If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the EBCM and the TCM. If the circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
  20. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector C3 of the BCM.
  21. Test for less than 1 volt between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits of the DLC and ground.
    • If greater than 1 volt, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
  22. Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit of the DLC and ground.
    • If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground.
  23. Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data (+) and (-) circuits of the DLC.
    • If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuits for a short between them.
  24. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.

When to See a Mechanic

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

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