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: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points: Low Reference circuit terminal 2/B & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points: Low Reference 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
- Go to next step: If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Perform the scan tool control function:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Off
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Off
Verify a test lamp does not turn On between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A & Ground
- If the test lamp turns On
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Test lamp
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: 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
- 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 test lamp does not turn On
- Remove - Test Lamp
- Perform the scan tool control function:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - On
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - On
- Verify the scan tool parameter:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status = OK or Not Run
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status = OK or Not Run
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A @ 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 specified state
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1/A & Ground
- Perform the scan tool control function:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - On
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - On
- Verify the scan tool parameter:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status = Malfunction
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status = Malfunction
- If not the specified state
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: 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
- 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
- Verify DTC P0011, P0014 is not set.
- If the DTC is set
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Remove the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Verify a condition does not exist with the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Engine Oil - Leaking @ Harness Connector
- Screen - Misaligned/Missing/Restricted/Torn
- Valve - Scored/Visible Damage
- If a condition exists - Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- Swap the two components:
- Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust
- Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake
- Engine - Running
- This step is testing the mechanical camshaft position actuator for the camshaft that set the DTC.
- Perform this test at the original location that set the DTC.
- Perform the scan tool control function:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator - From 0 to 20° and back to 0°
- Intake Camshaft Position Actuator - From 0 to 20° and back to 0°
- Verify the scan tool parameter:
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Variance = Less than 2° - During each of the commanded states
- Intake Camshaft Position Variance = Less than 2° - During each of the commanded states
- If 2° or greater - Replace the component: Camshaft Position Actuator
- If less than 2° - Replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - The original component that set the DTC
NOTE:It may be necessary to use jumper wires if the connector indexing is different between the connectors.
NOTE:- Go to next step: If the DTC is not set
- Test or replace the component: Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
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.
