Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Canyon and 2010 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion to the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
- Seat belt buckle - passenger
- PPS module
- Seat belt buckle - passenger wiring harness connector
- PPS wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the inflatable restraint passenger seat belt tension sensor.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.5-5.5 volts between the voltage reference circuit terminal B X2 and ground.
- If less that the specified range, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module.
- If greater that the specified range, test the voltage reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module.
- Ignition OFF, remove the AIRBAG fuse. Test for less than 3 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal A X2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PPS module.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the PPS module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for less than 1 ohm between the signal terminal 4 and circuit terminal C X2 at the sensor harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the seat belt buckle.
IMPORTANT:
The AIRBAG fuse that supplies ignition voltage must be removed to ensure the PPS module is inactive. An active PPS module may cause inaccurate resistance readings.
