WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 GMC Savana 3500, 2019 GMC Savana 2500, 2019 Chevrolet Express 3500, and 2019 Chevrolet Express 2500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Static Test
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Test for 6 to 12 ohms between the test points: Control terminal 2 & Low Reference terminal 1
- If not between 6 and 12 ohms
Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If between 6 and 12 ohms
- If not between 6 and 12 ohms
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Each terminal of the component & The component's housing
- If less than infinite resistance
Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If infinite resistance
- If less than infinite resistance
- All OK.
Dynamic Test
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Connect a jumper wire between the test points: Low Reference terminal 1 & Ground
- Momentarily connect a 7. 5 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control terminal 2 & 12 V
Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- If the component does not turn On and Off
Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off
- If the component does not turn On and Off
- All OK.
CAUTION:
Complete the testing as quickly as possible in order to prevent overheating and damaging the component.
