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 B131 EGT sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.NOTE: Perform the Repair Verification after completing the Circuit/System Testing.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 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 the scan tool B131 EGT sensor parameter is greater than 998°C (1, 828°F).
- If 998°C (1, 828°F) or less
- Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If greater than 998°C (1, 828°F)
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2.
- Verify the scan tool B131 EGT parameter is less than -35°C (-31°F).
- If -35°C (-31°F) 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 and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V.
- Ignition Off.
- 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 less than -35°C (-31°F)
- Test or replace the B131 Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor.
