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 B23 Camshaft 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 1 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 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. 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 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. Verify DTC P0341 is not set.
    • If the DTC is set 

      Inspect for the conditions listed below:

    • Incorrect crankshaft to camshaft timing
    • Excessive play or looseness of the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor or the camshaft gear
    • Improper installation of the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
    • Foreign material passing between the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor and the camshaft gear notch
    • Damaged camshaft gear
    • Excessive air gap between the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor and the camshaft gear notch
    • Engine oil for debris
    • Timing belt, tensioner and gears for wear or damage
    • If any of the conditions above are found, repair as necessary.
    • If all components test normal, test or replace the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor.
    • If the DTC is not set 
  7. Test or replace the B23 Camshaft Position Sensor.
