WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Static Test
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Test for 6 to 12 ohms between the test points: Low Reference terminal 1/A & Control terminal 2/B
- If not within specified range
Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If within the specified range
- If not within specified range
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Each terminal of the component & The component's housing
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- All OK.
Dynamic Test
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Connect a jumper wire between the test points: Low Reference terminal 1/A & Ground
- Momentarily connect a 7.5 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control terminal 2/B & B+
Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- If the component does not turn On and Off
Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off
- If the component does not turn On and Off
- All OK.
CAUTION:
Complete the testing as quickly as possible in order to prevent overheating and damaging the component.
