Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate T8 Ignition Coil. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  3. Verify the scan tool Ignition Coil Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status does not display Malfunction.
    • If Malfunction is displayed 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the control circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the control circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If Malfunction is not displayed 
  4. Verify the scan tool Ignition Coil Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status does not display Malfunction.
    • If Malfunction is displayed 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the control circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If Malfunction is not displayed 
  5. Ignition OFF, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal C and ground, engine Running.
  6. Verify the scan tool Ignition Coil Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status displays Malfunction.
    • If Malfunction is not displayed 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the fused jumper, and disconnect the X3 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 in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If Malfunction is displayed 
  7. Test or replace the T8 Ignition Coil.
