Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

You must perform the 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 
      NOTE:

      If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine control module or the sensor may be damaged.

    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    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.
