    • If the DTC is set 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Verify a condition does not exist with the component:Q43 Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Assembly - Screen=Restricted
    • Go to next step: If the DTC is not set 
  3. Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
  4. Verify the scan tool parameter:
    • Cylinder 1, 4, 6, 7 Deactivation Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Cylinder 1, 4, 6, 7 Deactivation Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Cylinder 1, 4, 6, 7 Deactivation Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Open Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • If not the specified state 

      Refer to Circuit/System Testing below

    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter:
    • Cylinder 1, 4, 6, 7 Deactivation Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Cylinder 1, 4, 6, 7 Deactivation Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Cylinder 1, 4, 6, 7 Deactivation Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Open Test Status=OKorNot Run
    • Perform the action while monitoring the parameter:
    • Wiggle the harness and connector:Q43 Valve Lifter Oil Manifold Assembly
    • Wiggle the harness and connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    • If not the specified state 

      Repair as necessary - Wiring / Terminal(s) / Electrical Connector(s)

    • Go to next step: If the specified state 
  6. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

    Verify the DTC does not set.
