Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Check the integrity of the entire air induction system and verify that none of the conditions listed below exist:
    • Any damaged, improperly installed, collapsed, or restricted components
    • Improper operation of turbocharger wastegate actuator or bypass valve, where equipped
    • Loose clamps, cracks, or other damage
    • An air flow restriction
    • Restricted air filter
    • Splits, kinks, leaks, or improper connections at the vacuum hoses
    • Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, MAP sensor, and throttle body
    • Water intrusion
    • Any snow or ice buildup
    • Contamination of the MAF sensor element
    • Missing, restricted, or leaking exhaust components-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Exhaust for further diagnosis.
    • If a condition exists 

      Repair or replace component as appropriate.

    • If no condition exists 
  2. Ignition OFF, and all vehicle systems OFF, it may take up to 2 min. for all vehicle systems to power down. Disconnect the harness connector at the B111B Turbocharger Boost/Intake Air Temperature sensor.
  3. Test for less than 2 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If 2 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 or high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If less than 2 Ω 
  4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the intake air temperature signal 3 signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal 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 greater than 5.2 V 
      NOTE:

      If the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage the engine control module or the sensor may be damaged.

    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal 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 between 4.8-5.2 V 
  5. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 3 parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
    • If warmer than -39°C (-38°F). 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal 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 colder than -39°C (-38°F). 
  6. Ignition OFF, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 3, ignition ON.
  7. Verify the scan tool IAT Sensor 3 parameter is warmer than 148°C (298°F).
    • If colder than 148°C (298°F). 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wire, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V
    3. Ignition OFF.
    4. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal 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 warmer than 148°C (298°F). 
  8. Test or replace the appropriate temperature sensor.
