Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Buick Regal and 2019 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor
- Install the special tool: EL-38522 Variable Signal Generator
- Black lead @ Ground
- Battery Cable Clip @ Battery
- Red lead @ Signal circuit terminal 8
- Set the voltage to 5 V
- Set the frequency to 250 Hz
- Set the duty cycle to 50%
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the scan tool parameter:
- IAT Sensor 2 = 248 to 252 Hz
- IAT Sensor 2 = 70 to 76°C (160 to 166°F)
- Intake Air Humidity Sensor = 48 to 52%
- If not in the specified range or does not change
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X1 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 8 @ B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor & Circuit terminal 60 X1 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If in the specified range and changes
- Replace the component: B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor
NOTE:
Circuit/System Testing must be performed before proceeding with Component Testing.
