Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Freeze Frame Data and Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Freeze Frame and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE (K76) VVT INTAKE SOLENOID 1/1 DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 harness connector.
      CAUTION:

      Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.

    3. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic) to the engine harness side of the PCM C2 harness connector. Do not connect the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to the PCM.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit between the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 harness connector and the GPEC Adaptor.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      • Repair the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  3. CHECK THE (K76) VVT INTAKE SOLENOID 1/1 DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Check for continuity between ground and the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit at the GPEC Adaptor

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K76) VVT Exhaust Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE (K76) VVT INTAKE SOLENOID 1/1 DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT 
    1. Check for continuity between the (K76) VVT Exhaust Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit and all other circuits at the GPEC Adaptor.

      Is there continuity between the (K76) VVT Exhaust Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit and any other circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K76) VVT Exhaust Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit for a short to another circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE (K76) VVT INTAKE SOLENOID 1/1 DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the GPEC Adaptor and reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector. (Leave the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 harness connector disconnected.)
    3. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE:

      The PCM will briefly apply voltage the VVT Solenoid driver circuit immediately after the ignition is turned on. No voltage should be present about 1 second after the ignition is turned on.

    4. Measure the voltage on the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit at the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present about 1 second after the ignition is turned on?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit for a short to voltage.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK THE ABILITY OF THE PCM TO CONTROL THE VVT INTAKE SOLENOID 1/1 
    CAUTION:

    Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.

    1. Reconnect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic) to the PCM C2 harness connector and the PCM  .
    2. Reconnect the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, actuate the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Control.
    5. Measure the voltage on the (K76) VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 Driver circuit at the GPEC Adaptor.
      NOTE:

      The VVT Solenoid Driver circuit is a 12 volt PWM circuit. With the solenoid connected the voltage reading will vary depending on the actuation percentage as follows:

      • 20% Duty Cycle will equate to approximately 1.5 - 2.0 volts.
      • 40% Duty Cycle will equate to approximately 3.75 - 4.25 volts.
      • 60% Duty Cycle will equate to approximately 6.25 - 6.75 volts.
      • 80% Duty Cycle will equate to approximately 8.5 - 9.0 volts.

      Does the voltage match the actuation duty cycle?

      Yes 

      • Replace the VVT Intake Solenoid 1/1 in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    10. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No
