2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 6.6 6SECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Refer to SIR Service Precautions .
When removing the connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion to the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
  • Pretensioner
  • Inflatable restraint module
  • SDM module
  • Inflatable restraint module wiring harness connector
  • SDM wiring harness connector
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate inflatable restraint module.
  2. With the appropriate adaptor, connect J 38715-A  or SA9409Z-A  in place of the inflatable restraint module.
  3. Ignition ON, verify DTC is set as current.
    • If DTC is not set or is set as history, replace the appropriate inflatable restraint module.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect J 38715-A  or SA9409Z-A  and the adaptor.
  5. Disconnect the harness connector at the SDM.
  6. Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the appropriate high control circuit and ground.

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.
