Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting the components.
  1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connector at all appropriate sensors for the applicable DTC. Refer to Diagnostic Aids .
  2. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  3. Test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between one of the 5 V reference circuits and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit for each applicable component 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 5.2 V 
    1. Vehicle OFF, disconnect the harness connectors at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit for each applicable component 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 
  4. Vehicle in Service Mode.
    NOTE: A short to voltage or ground on the signal circuit of certain components may cause this DTC to set.
  5. Verify the appropriate scan tool 5 V Reference 1, 2, 3 or 4 Circuit Status parameter displays OK while connecting each component associated with the 5 V reference circuit one at a time.
    • If OK is not displayed when a component is connected 

      Test the signal circuit of that component for a short to ground or voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the component.

    • If OK is displayed after all components have been connected 
  6. All OK.
