Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- 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 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 1 or A 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 2 or B and ground.NOTE: A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage, 1.5-3.5 V 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.
- Connect a digital multimeter (DMM) black lead to the control circuit terminal 2 or B and the red lead to B+. Set the DMM on the diode setting. Command the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid On and Off with a scan tool.
- Verify the DMM display transitions from OL when commanded Off to less than 1 V when commanded On.
- If the DMM does not transition as specified
- 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 the DMM transitions as specified
- Test or replace the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
