Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector : A7 Fuel Pump and Level Sensor Assembly
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the test points : Low Reference circuit terminal 6 & Ground
- If 10 ohms or greater
- Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points : Low Reference circuit terminal @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step : If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify the scan tool parameter : Remaining Fuel in Tank = Less than 5%
- If 5% or greater
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
- Test for infinite resistance between the test points : Signal circuit terminal 5 @ 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
- Go to next step : If less than 5%
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points : Signal circuit terminal 5 & Low Reference circuit terminal 6
- Verify the scan tool parameter : Remaining Fuel in Tank = If 90% or greater
- If less than 90%
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire (s)
- Disconnect the electrical connector : K20 Engine Control Module
- Ignition - On / Vehicle - In Service Mode
- 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.
- Go to next step : If less than 1 V
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points : Signal circuit @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit
- If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component : K20 Engine Control Module
- Go to next step : If 90% or greater
- Test or replace the component : B46 Fuel Level Sensor
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.
