Circuit/System Testing

    NOTE:

    It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down before an accurate ground or low reference circuit continuity test can be performed.

  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems » Off
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector:B9 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal B or 2 & Ground
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:Low Reference circuit terminal B or 2 @Component harness & The other end of the circuit
      • If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω » Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter:Ambient Air Temperature =Less than - 34 °C (30 °F)
    • If - 34 °C (30 °F) or warmer 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal A or 1 @Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance » Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance » Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • If - 35 °C (- 31 °F) or colder 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Signal circuit terminal A or 1 & Low Reference circuit terminal B or 2
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter:Ambient Air Temperature =Greater than 143 °C (290 °F)
    • If 143 °C (240 °F) or colder 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle » Off & Remove » Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Ignition » On / Vehicle » In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit@Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater » Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle » Off
    6. Test for less than 2 Ω between the test points:Signal circuit@Component harness & The other end of the circuit
      • If 2 Ω or greater » Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω » Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • If 144 °C (291 °F) or warmer 
  8. Test or replace the component:B9 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
