Circuit/System Testing

2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Passenger ExtendedSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the yaw rate/lateral accelerometer.
  2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 11.8-12.2 volts between the 12-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. Test for 5.5-7.0 volts between the CAN circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  5. Test for 5.5-7.0 volts between the CAN circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the CAN circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  6. Test for infinite ohm of resistance between the CAN circuit High, and Low terminals 2 and 3.
    • If less than the specified range, test the CAN circuits for a shorted to each other. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the yaw rate/lateral accelerometer sensor.

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.
