Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Ignition OFF, remove the intake manifold. Refer to Intake Manifold Replacement (RPOs LC9, LMG, LY5, L76) , Intake Manifold Replacement (RPOs LY2, LY6) , Intake Manifold Replacement (Except RPOs LY2, LY6, LC9, LMG, LY5) .
- Disconnect the harness connector at the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal E and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the ignition circuit terminal E and the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid control circuit terminal listed below.
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 1 terminal C
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 2 terminal A
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 3 terminal B
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 4 terminal D
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between ground and the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid control circuit terminal listed below.
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 1 terminal C
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 2 terminal A
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 3 terminal B
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 4 terminal D
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition circuit terminal E and the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid control circuit terminal listed below.
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 1 terminal C
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 2 terminal A
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 3 terminal B
- Cylinder deactivation solenoid valve 4 terminal D
- Command the appropriate cylinder deactivation solenoid ON with a scan tool. Verify the test lamp illuminates with each command.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all the circuits test normal, test or replace the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
NOTE:
If any of the scan tool circuit status parameters displayed "Fault" during the Circuit/System Verification, inspect the wiring harness for signs of binding, chaffing or pinching before intake manifold removal.
