Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the VES actuator.
- Ignition ON, Command the VES actuator to 100% with a scan tool.
- Test for B+ between the high control circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If not the specified value, test the high control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Connect a DMM, set on the diode setting, between the low control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- Command the VES actuator to 0% with a scan tool. The DMM reading should be greater than 2.5 volts or display O.L.
- If less than the specified value, test the low control circuit for a short to voltage or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- Command the VES actuator to 100% with a scan tool. The DMM reading should be less than 1 volt.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the VES actuator.
