Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Verify a condition does not exist with the component: Blade @ Q38 Throttle Body
- Binding or Sticking @ Open/Closed - Position
- Open @ Engine Off
- Closed - Without spring pressure
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 greater than 9 V between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2 & Ground
- If less than 9 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: @ K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & Ground
- Control 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
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- Control 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 9 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- 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 @ Component harness & Ground
- Control circuit terminal 2 @ Component harness & Ground
- If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- Go to next step: If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:
- Control circuit terminal 1 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
- Control 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.
- Go to next step: If less than 2 ohms
- Test or replace the component: Q38 Throttle Body
NOTE:
Disconnecting the component electrical connector causes additional DTCs to set.
