Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).Diagnostic Test1.AAT SENSOR VOLTAGE BELOW 0.078 OF A VOLTDiagnose any CAN - C Communication DTCs before continuing.Ignition on, engine not running.With a scan tool, read the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor voltage.Is the voltage below 0.078 of a volt?YesGo To 2NoRefer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)2.CHECKING AAT SENSORTurn the ignition off.Disconnect the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor harness connector.Ignition on, engine not running.With a scan tool, read the AAT Sensor voltage.Is the voltage above 4.6 volts?YesReplace the Ambient Temperature Sensor.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 33.(G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUNDTurn the ignition off.Disconnect the C4 TIPM harness connector.Measure the resistance between ground and the (G31) AAT Signal circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short to ground in the (G31) AAT Signal circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 44.(G31) AAT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (G931) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUITMeasure the resistance between the (G931) Sensor ground circuit and the (G31) AAT Signal circuit in the AAT Sensor harness connector.Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?YesRepair the short between the (G931) Sensor ground circuit and the (G31) AAT Signal circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 55.TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULEBefore continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.Were there any problems found?YesRepair as necessary.Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoReplace and program the Totally Integrated Power Module per Service Information.Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
