Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

    • Go to next step: If the test lamp turns ON and OFF 
  8. Refer to Step 10.
  9. Test for less than 5 Ω between the MAF sensor enable circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition Off.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open or high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection or replace the K20 Engine Control Module, if the ground is internal.
    • Go to next step: If less than 5 Ω 
  10. Ignition On
  11. Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition Off, remove the test lamp and remove the fuse for the ignition voltage circuit.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition voltage circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition Off, remove the test lamp, the fuse for the ignition voltage circuit, and disconnect all components on the circuit.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, test all components connected to the ignition circuit, replace as necessary.
    • Go to next step: If a test lamp illuminates 
  12. Ignition On.
  13. Verify the scan tool Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
    • If warmer than -39°C (-38°F).

    18. NOTE:

    The intake air temperature sensor 2 signal circuit is pulled up with low current voltage within the controller. Normally, a voltage near B+ can be measured on the circuit with a DMM, but the current will not be high enough to illuminate a test lamp.
