Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition Off and all vehicle systems Off, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If 5 Ω or greater
- Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- 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 less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If less than 5 Ω
- Ignition On.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 2nd ground.NOTE: A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage. The current is too low to illuminate a test lamp. A voltage on the control circuit is normal.
- If the test lamp illuminates
- Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition On.
- Test for less than 1 V between the control 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 the test lamp does not illuminate
- Remove the test lamp.
- Verify the scan tool parameters listed below do not display Malfunction when commanding the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve On with a scan tool:
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status
- If Malfunction is displayed
- Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance or short to ground in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If Malfunction is not displayed
- Test or replace the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
