Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

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.

Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:
- M129 Intake Camshaft Profile Actuator 1-4
- M130 Exhaust Camshaft Profile Actuator 2-3
Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 3 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
1. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
2. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 3 @ 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 less than 10 ohms
Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 4 & Ground
- If less than 4.8 V
1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & Ground
  - If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - Go to next step: If infinite resistance
4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 4 @ 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 5.2 V
1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: 5 V Reference circuit terminal 4 @ 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 4.8 and 5.2 V
Test for 4.8 to 5.2 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If less than 4.8 V
1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
  - If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
  - Go to next step: If infinite resistance
4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ 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 5.2 V
1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
2. Disconnect the electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points: Signal circuit terminal 2 @ 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 4.8 and 5.2 V
Verify DTC P2C06, P2C0A, P2C0E, P2C13, P2C17, P30B1 is not set.
- If the DTC is set
  Verify the following conditions do not exist:
- M129 Intake Camshaft Profile Actuator 1-4 - Incorrect installation/Visible Damage
- M130 Exhaust Camshaft Profile Actuator 2-3 - Incorrect installation/Visible Damage
- If a condition exists - Repair or replace as necessary
- If no condition exists - Test or replace the component:
- M129 Intake Camshaft Profile Actuator 1-4
- M130 Exhaust Camshaft Profile Actuator 2-3
- Go to next step: If the DTC is not set
Test or replace the component:
- M129 Intake Camshaft Profile Actuator 1-4
- M130 Exhaust Camshaft Profile Actuator 2-3
