Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the T8 Ignition Coil.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground
- If greater than the specified range, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
- Connect a DMM between the appropriate ignition control circuit listed below and ground.
- Ignition coil 1 control terminal D
- Ignition coil 2 control terminal E
- Ignition coil 3 control terminal F
- Ignition coil 4 control terminal G
- Engine cranking, test for greater than 1.5 hertz between each of the appropriate ignition control circuit and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the ignition control circuit for a short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the T8 Ignition Coil.
NOTE:
Set the DMM to the DC Hertz scale for this test.
