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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the appropriate multi-way harness connector X160 or X161, at the rear of the intake manifold.
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the scan tool Cylinder 1-6 Injector Control Circuit Status parameters display Open.
- If not the specified value
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector control - circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Ignition ON.
- 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, test or replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
NOTE:Test on the K20 Engine Control Module side of the multi-way harness connector.
- If the specified value
- Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector control + and control - circuits.
- Verify the Cylinder 1-6 Injector Control Circuit Status transitions from Open to OK.
- If the parameter does not transition
- Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test for less than 2 Ω on the control + circuit end to end.
- If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 Ω
- 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, test or replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If the parameter transitions
- Test for 2-3 Ω between the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector control + and control - circuits.
- If less than 2 Ω
- Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control + and control - circuits.
- If less than infinite, repair the short between the circuits.
- If infinite resistance, test or replace the Q17 Fuel Injector.
- If greater than 3 Ω
- Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector.
- Test for less the 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
- Test for less the 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, test or replace the Q17 Fuel Injector.
- If within 2-3 Ω
- Test for infinite resistance between the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector control - circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance
- Disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector.
- Test for infinite resistance between the control + circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for infinite resistance between the control - circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
- If infinite resistance, test or replace the Q17 Fuel Injector.
- If infinite resistance
- Ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the appropriate Q17 Fuel Injector control - circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater
Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- If 1 V or greater
- All OK.
NOTE:
Testing for the following steps is performed on the fuel injector side of the multi-way harness connector. It may be necessary to remove the intake manifold to isolate the condition.
