2009 GMC Canyon 4D Pickup, 2.9 9SECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC.
  2. IMPORTANT: A short to voltage on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
  3. Ignition ON, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts between one of the 5-volt reference circuits and ground.
    • If the voltage is less than the specified value, test for a short to ground on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
    • If the voltage is greater than the specified value, test for a short to voltage on all the 5-volt reference circuits. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Connect each component associated with the 5-volt reference circuit, one at a time, while monitoring the voltage. Verify the voltage remains between 4.8-5.2 volts.
    • If the voltage display is not within the specified range when a component is connected, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If all circuits test normal, replace the component.
