Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban 3500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - OffNOTE: It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 2/B & Ground
- If 10 Ω or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 2/B @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1/A & Ground
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3/C & Ground
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3/C @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3/C @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 5.2 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 3/C @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 and 5.2 V
- Verify DTC P0341 is not set.
- If the DTC is set
Verify the following conditions do not exist:
- B23 Camshaft Position Sensor & Reluctor Ring - Excessive play/Foreign material passing between the components/Incorrect air gap/Incorrect installation/Loose/Visible Damage
- Engine Oil - Contaminated/Dirty
- Timing Chain or Timing Belt - Visible Damage/Worn
- Timing Chain Tensioner or Timing Belt Tensioner - Visible Damage/Worn
- If a condition exists - Repair or replace as necessary
- If no condition exists - Test or replace the component: B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
- Go to next step: If the DTC is not set
- If the DTC is set
- Test or replace the component: B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
