Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Disconnect the harness connector at the B65 Intake Manifold Pressure and Air Temperature Sensor.
- Test for less than 2 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 3 or A and ground.
- If 2 Ω or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect 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.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 Ω
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 2 or C and ground.
- If less than 4.8 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect 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.
- Go to next step: 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
NOTE:If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the ECM or the MAP Sensor may be damaged.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect 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.
- Go to next step: If between 4.8 - 5.2 V
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool MAP Sensor parameter is less than 0.5 V.
- If 0.5 V or greater
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit terminal 4 or D 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.
- Go to next step: If less than 0.5 V
- Ignition OFF, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 4 or D and the 5 V reference circuit terminal 2 or C.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool MAP Sensor voltage parameter is greater than 4.5 V.
- If 4.5 V or less
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Remove the jumper wire, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 4 or D and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open or high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Go to next step: If greater than 4.5 V
- Test or replace the B65 Intake Manifold Pressure and Air Temperature Sensor.
