Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 GMC Acadia, 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, and 2016 Buick Enclave. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B23 Camshaft Position Sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If 2 Ω or less, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the 5 V reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If between 4.8-5.2 V 
  5. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance.
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If between 4.8-5.2 V 
  6. Verify DTC P0341, P0346, P0366, or P0391 is not set.
    • If any of the DTCs are set 

      Verify the conditions listed below do not exist:

    • Excessive play or looseness of the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor or the reluctor wheel
    • Improper installation of the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
    • Foreign material passing between the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor and the reluctor wheel
    • Damaged reluctor wheel
    • Excessive air gap between the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor and the reluctor wheel
    • Engine oil for debris
    • Timing chain, tensioner, and sprockets for wear or damage
      • If a conditions exist, repair as necessary.
      • If none of the condition exist test or replace the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor.
    • If none of the DTCs are set 
  7. Test or replace the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor.
