Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 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/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If 2 Ω or less, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition ON.
  4. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference 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 5 V 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 greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference 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. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X2 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 X2 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, 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, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If between 4.8-5.2 V 
  6. Ignition OFF, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire to the signal circuit terminal 1, ignition ON.
  7. Verify the scan tool Crankshaft Position Sensor Active Counter parameter increments while rapidly tapping the fused jumper wire end to ground.
    NOTE: Additional DTCs may set when performing this test.
    • If the counter does not increment 

      Replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

    • If the counter increments 
  8. Verify DTC P0336 is not set.
    • If the DTC is set 
      NOTE: The crankshaft position reluctor ring is magnetic and may be functionally damaged if any magnetic object comes in contact with it. This type of damage is not visually detectable but will set the DTC.
    1. Inspect for the conditions listed below:
      • Excessive play or looseness of the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor or the crankshaft position reluctor ring
      • Improper installation of the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor
      • Foreign material passing between the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor and the crankshaft position reluctor ring
      • Damaged crankshaft position reluctor ring
      • Excessive air gap between the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor and the crankshaft position reluctor ring
      • Timing chain or belt, tensioner and sprockets for wear or damage
      • If a condition is found

        Repair or replace as necessary.

      • If a condition is not found
    2. Replace the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor.
    3. Clear the DTC and test drive the vehicle.
    4. Verify the DTC is not set.
      • If the DTC is set, replace the crankshaft position reluctor ring.
      • If the DTC is not set, all OK.
    • If the DTC is not set 
  9. Test or replace the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor.
