Circuit/System Testing

2006 Pontiac G6 GTP, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition ON, observe the Ignition 1 Voltage parameter. Voltage should be more than 10 volts.
    • If less than 10 volts, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit that powers the ETC fuse for an open or a faulty ECM.
  2. Ignition ON, probe both sides of the ETC fuse with a test lamp. The test lamp should illuminate on both sides of the fuse.
    • If the test lamp illuminates on only one side of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit that powers the ETC fuse for a short to ground or a faulty ECM.
  3. Ignition OFF, probe both sides of the ETC fuse. The test lamp should not illuminate on either side of the fuse.
    • If the test lamp illuminates on at least one side of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit that powers the ETC fuse for a short to voltage or a faulty ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, probe both sides of the PCM IGN 1 fuse. The test lamp should illuminate on both sides of the fuse.
    • If the test lamp illuminates on only one side of the fuse test the ignition 1 voltage circuit that powers the PCM IGN 1 fuse for a short to ground or a faulty ECM.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate on both sides of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit that powers the PCM IGN 1 fuse for an open or faulty ECM.
  5. Ignition OFF, probe both sides of the PCM IGN 1 fuse. The test lamp should not illuminate on either side of the fuse.
    • If the test lamp illuminates on at least one side of the fuse, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit that powers the PCM IGN 1 fuse for a short to voltage or a faulty ECM.

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.
