Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Verify the following conditions do not exist:
- The throttle blade has not reached the closed position after the engine has been turned off.
- The throttle blade is not closed by the spring.
- The throttle blade is binding in open or closed position.
WARNING:Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
- If a condition exists
Replace the component: Q38 Throttle Body
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q38 Throttle Body
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for 5 to 8 V between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1/A & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2/B & Ground
- If less than 5 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2/B @ Component harness & 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 ohms between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- Control circuit terminal 2/B @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- If greater than 8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2/B @ 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 5 and 8 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: X2 @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- Control circuit terminal 2/B @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- If 2 ohms or greater
Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
- Ignition OFF, Set the DMM to the 40 V scale, select the Min/Max Recording Mode, and set the Peak Min/Max response time to 1 ms.
- The ignition must be OFF and the ECM completely powered down before testing each circuit or a lower voltage will be recorded. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- The DMM Min/Max Recording Mode and the response time of 1 ms must be reset after testing each circuit or a lower voltage will be recorded.
- Verify the Max voltage is within 3 V of B+ while using DMM Min/Max Recording Mode function on each control circuit listed below as the ignition is turned ON.
- Control circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2/B @ Component harness & Ground
- If not within 3 V of the battery voltage
Test or replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If within 3 V of the battery voltage
- Test or replace the component: Q38 Throttle Body
NOTE:
Disconnecting the component electrical connector causes additional DTCs to set.
NOTE:
