Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2007 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The SDM module
- The SDM wiring harness connector
- Ignition OFF, remove the Air Bag fuse from the underhood fuse center. Ignition ON, engine OFF test the voltage from the supply voltage side of the AIR BAG fuse to a ground with a DMM. The voltage should read 9-16 volts.
- If the voltage is less than 9-16 volts, correct the open or short on the voltage supply circuit or the open in the control side of the RUN/CRANK relay.
- Remove the SDM connector. With the air bag fuse removed, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit between the underhood fuse center and the SDM for a short to voltage or an open. Verify that a short to voltage or an open does not exist.
- If any of the above conditions are found, make the appropriate repair.
- If ignition 1 voltage circuit test normal then refer to Diagnostic Aids within this repair.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the SDM.
IMPORTANT:
When removing connectors, inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector:
