Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34B RCT sensor, or ECT sensor 2.
  2. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF.This may take up to 2 minutes. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 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 K20 ECM.
  3. Service Mode active, verify the scan tool RCT sensor parameter is at -40°C (-40°F).
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  4. NOTE: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage and the sensor may be damaged.
  5. Install a 1 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the scan tool RCT sensor parameter is at 150°C (302°F).
    • If less than specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B34B RCT sensor.
