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
- 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 0 V, but less than 2.5 V between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1 & Control circuit terminal 2
- If 0 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 2.5 V or greater
- 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.
- If less than 1 V - Replace the component: K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step: If greater than 0 V and less than 2.5 V
- Perform the scan tool function: Clear DTCs
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off - It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate test can be performed.
- Use the special tool: EL-44603 Injector Test Lamp
- Connect the tool between the test points: Control circuit terminal 1 & Control circuit terminal 2
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the test lamp flashes - Once
- If the test lamp does not flash
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector: K20 Engine Control Module
- 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
- Go to next step: If the test lamp flashes
- Test or replace the component: Q38 Throttle Body
WARNING:
Turn OFF the ignition before inserting fingers into the throttle bore. Unexpected movement of the throttle blade could cause personal injury.
NOTE:
Disconnecting the component electrical connector causes additional DTCs to set.
