WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the power steering motor/module assembly.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Disconnect the X3 harness connector at the power steering motor/module assembly.
  4. Connect the EL-47564  Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) Test Harness.
  5. Test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal and ground at the test harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
  6. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal and ground at the test harness connector.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
  7. Verify the scan tool steering position sensor signal 1 parameter is greater than 5.0 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
  8. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the steering position sensor signal 1 circuit terminal and the steering position sensor low reference circuit terminal at the test harness connector. Verify the scan tool steering position sensor signal 1 parameter is less than 0 volt.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
  9. Verify the scan tool steering position sensor signal 2 parameter is greater than 5.0 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
  10. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the steering position sensor signal 2 circuit terminal and the steering position sensor low reference circuit terminal at the test harness connector. Verify the scan tool steering position sensor signal 2 parameter is less than 0 volt.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the power steering motor/module assembly.
  11. If all circuits test normal, replace the steering column assembly.

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.
