Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2018 GMC Yukon XL, 2018 GMC Yukon, 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2018 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2018 Cadillac Escalade ESV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
    NOTE: It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.
  2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector : B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points : Low Reference circuit terminal 2 & Ground
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points : Low Reference circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step : If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  5. Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points : 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1 & Ground
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points : 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points : 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit@Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points : 5 V Reference circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step : If between 4.8 and 5.2 V 
  6. Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points : Signal circuit terminal 3 & Ground
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points : Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points : Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 Ω or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points : Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step : If between 4.8 and 5.2 V 
  7. Verify DTC P0341 is not set.
    • If the DTC is set 

      Verify the following conditions do not exist :

    • B23 Camshaft Position Sensor & Reluctor Ring - Excessive play/Foreign material passing between the components/Incorrect air gap /Incorrect installation/Loose/Visible Damage
    • Engine Oil - Contaminated/Dirty
    • Timing Chain or Timing Belt - Visible Damage /Worn
    • Timing Chain Tensioner or Timing Belt Tensioner - Visible Damage /Worn
      • If a condition exists - Repair or replace as necessary
      • If no condition exists - Test or replace the component : B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
    • Go to next step : If the DTC is not set 
  8. Test or replace the component : B23 Camshaft Position Sensor
