Circuit/System Testing

2008 Chevrolet HHR SS, AutomaticSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Verify that the induction system components are properly positioned and connected.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the MAF/IAT sensor.
  3. Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the MAF sensor ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the MAF sensor ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  4. Test for less than 5 ohms between the IAT low reference circuit terminal D and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Disconnect the harness connector at the boost pressure sensor.
  6. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  7. Disconnect the ECM.
  8. Test for less than 5 ohms between the IAT sensor signal circuit terminal E and the ECM connector X2, terminal 50.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the IAT sensor signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
  9. Test for less than 5 ohms between the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit terminal B and the ECM connector X1, terminal 86.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the IAT sensor 2 signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
  10. If the circuits test normal, test both the IAT sensor and the IAT sensor 2.

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.
