WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
IMPORTANT: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Test the IAH feedback signal circuit for an open, a short to ground, or a short to voltage.
    • If a condition is found, repair as necessary.
  2. IMPORTANT: Set the DMM to the 4V DC hertz scale.
  3. Turn ON the ignition with a DMM measure between command two circuit terminal 3 and a good ground on the harness side of the connector for 0.78-1.1 Hz.
    • If the DMM does not measure between 0.78-1.1 Hz ohms, replace the GPCM.
  4. IMPORTANT:
    • Do not install the jumper wire between 12 volts and the command circuit for more the 20 seconds.
    • Set the DMM to the 4V DC hertz scale.
  5. Turn OFF the ignition. Install a jumper wire between the IAH harness temperature signal circuit terminal 1 and the corresponding terminal on the IAH.
  6. Install a jumper wire between the IAH harness command two circuit terminal 3 and the corresponding terminal on the IAH.
  7. Supply 12 volts to terminal 2 on the IAH.
  8. Turn ON the ignition. Measure for 1 hertz on terminal 6 at the IAH.
    • If 0.7-1.1 hertz is measured on terminal 6, replace the GPCM.
    • If 0.7-1.1 hertz is not measured on terminal 6, replace the IAH.
