Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition Off and all vehicle systems Off, disconnect the appropriate harness connector at the Q6 camshaft position actuator solenoid valve. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 engine control module
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Ignition On.
  4. NOTE:

    A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage, 1.5-3.5 V on the control circuit is normal.

  5. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates 
    1. Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module, ignition On.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 engine control module
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate 
  6. Remove the test lamp.
  7. Connect the DMM black lead to the control circuit terminal 1. Connect the DMM red lead to B+. Command the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid On and Off with a scan tool. Verify the voltage changes.
    • If the voltage does not change 
    1. Ignition Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the control circuit end to end.
    • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance or short to ground in the circuit.
    • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If the voltage changes 
  8. Test or replace the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
