Component Testing

Static Test

1. Ignition Off, remove the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
2. Test for 5.0-9.0 Ω between the solenoid control terminal 2 and the low reference terminal 1 at the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
   • If not within the specified range 

     Replace the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.

   • If within the specified range 
3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal of the magnet and the magnet housing.
   • If not the specified value 

     Replace the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.

   • If the specified value 
4. All OK.

Dynamic Test

1. Remove the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
NOTE:
• The camshaft position actuator magnet pintle should be facing downward for this test.
• Do not allow electrical current to flow through the camshaft position actuator magnet for greater than 1-2 s.
2. Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 2 and 12 V. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal 1 and ground. The pintle should extend.
   • If the function does not perform as specified 

     Replace the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.

   • If the function perform as specified 
3. All OK.
