Circuit/System Testing

NOTE: You must perform Circuit/System Verification  before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
  1. Check the integrity of the entire air induction system and verify that none of the following conditions exist:
    • A loose or disconnected charge air cooler hose or pipe
    • A blocked or obstructed charge air cooler, including: after-market grill covers
    • Any snow or ice build-up at the charge air cooler in cold climates
    • Any mud or dirt build-up at the charge air cooler
    • A restricted or collapsed air intake duct
    • An intake manifold leak
    • A MAP sensor seal that is leaking, missing or damaged
    • A misaligned or damaged air intake duct
    • Any water intrusion in the induction system
    • An Intake Manifold Resonator with a leaking seal or a cracked or broken housing
    • If a condition exists 

      Repair or replace component as appropriate.

    • If no condition exists 
  2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, it may take up to 2 min. for all vehicle systems to power down. Disconnect the harness connector at the B111B Turbocharger Boost/Intake Air Temperature sensor.
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If 2 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the 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 or high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If less than 2 Ω 
  4. Ignition ON, 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 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 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
      NOTE: If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine control module or the sensor may be damaged.
    2. Ignition ON, 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 
  5. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 3 parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
    • If warmer than -39°C (-38°F). 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 2 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 colder than -39°C (-38°F). 
  6. Ignition OFF, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit terminal 1.
  7. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 3 parameter is warmer than 128°C (262°F).
    • If colder than 128°C (262°F). 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 ECM, 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
    3. Ignition OFF.
    4. 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 ECM.
    • If warmer than 128°C (262°F). 
  8. Test or replace the B111B Turbocharger Boost/Intake Air Temperature sensor.
