Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
IMPORTANT: You must complete the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate CMP actuator solenoid harness connector at the appropriate CMP actuator solenoid.
  2. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B and ground.
  3. Engine running, command the CMP actuator solenoid from 0-20 degrees. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM.
    • If test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground, an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition OFF and scan tool disconnected for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the CMP Actuator solenoid.
