Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: T8 Ignition Coil
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 1/A & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the ground connection: Ground terminal
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Ground circuit terminal 1/A @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Ground terminal
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Verify a test lamp does not turn On between the test points: Control circuit terminal 3/C & B+
- If the test lamp turns On
- Remove - Test Lamp
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 3/C @ Component harness & Ground
- If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If the test lamp does not turn On
- Remove - Test Lamp
- Engine - Running
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Ignition Coil 1 - 4 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status = OK or Not Run
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 3/C @ 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 the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 3/C & Ignition circuit terminal 4/D
- Engine - Running
- Verify the scan tool parameter: Ignition Coil 1 - 4 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status = Malfunction
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Control circuit terminal 3/C @ 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
- Go to next step: If the specified state
- Test or replace the component: T8 Ignition Coil
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.
