Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2007 Saturn Ion 3, and 2007 Saturn Ion 2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Circuit/System Verification must be performed before performing the Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
  2. Verify that the low coolant indicator turns ON and OFF with each command when the instrument cluster indicators are commanded ON and OFF with a scan tool.
    • If the low coolant level indicator does NOT turn OFF, test for poor connections at the IPC or a faulty IPC.
  3. Ignition ON, disconnect the coolant level switch.
    • If the low coolant level indicator turns OFF with the switch disconnected, replace the coolant level switch.
    • If the low coolant level indicator does not turn OFF with the switch disconnected, test the signal circuit of the coolant level switch for a short to ground.
    • If the signal circuit tests normal, inspect for poor connections at the BCM or a faulty BCM.
