Circuit/System Testing

2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Cargo Extended, 4.8 CSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the DLC ground circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for open/high resistance.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector (splice pack comb) at JX 200. Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between JX 200 terminal A and terminal D, harness side.
  3. Ignition ON, with a scan tool, attempt to communicate with the instrument panel cluster (IPC). Communication should be available.
    • If no communication, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground, a short to voltage or an open/high resistance between the IPC and the DLC. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
  4. Install another 3-amp fused jumper wire to JX 200 terminal A, harness side.
  5. With IPC communications established, use the other end of the jumper wire to connect all other terminals, harness side, one at a time and verify that low speed communication remains available to the IPC.
    IMPORTANT: Allow communications for 5 seconds after connecting a module with the jumper to determine if communication is interrupted or not.
    • If low speed communication is interrupted after connecting an individual module at JX 200, test the serial data circuit between JX 200 and the last module connected for a short to voltage and short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the module that caused no communication.

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.
