- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the VES actuator.
- Connect a test lamp between the low effort control circuit terminal A and ground.
- Cycle the ignition ON and verify the test lamp turns ON then OFF.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminals A and B.
- Cycle the ignition ON and verify the test lamp turns ON then OFF.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal 29 and ground.

- • 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.
