Avalanche 1500 2WD V8-5.3L (2008)
14. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the ECM. Connect the harness connector C3 of the BCM.
15. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
^
If communication is established, replace the ECM.
16. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the transmission control module (TCM).
17. Attempt to communicate with the EBCM. Communication should not be available.
^
If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the TCM
and the ECM. If the circuits test normal, replace the TCM.
18. Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector of the suspension control module. Disconnect the harness connector of the EBCM.
19. Attempt to communicate with the suspension control module. Communication should not be available.
^
If communication is established, test the serial data circuits for a short between them, short to ground or a short to voltage between the EBCM
and the TCM. If the circuits test normal, replace the EBCM.
20. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector C3 of the BCM.
21. Test for less than 1 volt between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuits of the DLC and ground.
^
If greater than 1 volt, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
22. Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data circuit of the DLC and ground.
^
If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground.
23. Test for infinite resistance between the high speed GMLAN serial data (+) and (-) circuits of the DLC.
^
If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuits for a short between them.
24. If the circuits test normal, replace the BCM.
