Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Verify the conditions listed below do not exist:
- Intake air flow valve blade that is not in the rest position.
- Intake air flow valve blade that is binding open or closed.
- Intake air flow valve blade that opens or closes without spring pressure.
- Dirt, debris or coking in the intake air flow valve.
- Damaged intake air flow valve blade or shaft.
- If a condition exists
Test or replace the component as necessary.
- If none of the conditions exist
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q20 Intake Air Flow Valve. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If 10 Ω or greater
- 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 10 Ω
- Ignition ON.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- 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
- 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
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference 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
- Verify the scan tool Intake Air Flow Valve Position Sensor voltage parameter is less than 0.2 V.
- If 0.2 V or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 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 less than 0.2 V
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the low reference circuit terminal 4.
- Verify the scan tool Intake Air Flow Valve Position Sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.5 V.
- If 4.5 V or less
- Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- 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 4.5 V
- Replace the Q20 Intake Air Flow Valve.
