Circuit/System Testing

2009 GMC Canyon 4D Pickup, 2.9 9SECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Yaw Rate/Lateral Accelerometer sensor.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test for an open/high resistance in the low reference circuit.
  3. Ignition ON, test for ignition voltage between the ignition circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 5.
    • If not the specified value, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM.
  5. Test for infinite resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 29 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for a short to ground.
  6. Ignition ON, test for 0 volts between the communication circuit terminal 18 and ground at the EBCM harness connector.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to voltage.
  7. Test for 0 volts between the communication circuit terminal 19 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to voltage.
  8. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the communication circuit terminal 18 and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to ground.
  9. Test for infinite resistance between the communication circuit terminal 19 and ground.
    • If not the specified value, test the communication circuit for a short to ground.
  10. Test for less than 1 ohm between the communication circuit terminals 18 and terminal 2.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the communication circuit for an open/high resistance.
  11. Test for less than 1 ohm between the communication circuit terminals 19 and terminal 1.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the communication circuit for an open/high resistance.
  12. Test for infinite resistance between the communication circuit 18 and the communication circuit 19.
    • If not the specified value, test the communication circuits for a short together.
  13. If all circuits test normal, replace the Yaw Rate/Lateral 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.
