Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2011 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, inspect the engine wiring harness carrying the CMP sensor circuits for the following conditions:
- Close routing of aftermarket electrical equipment
- Close to solenoids, motors, and relays
- If any of these are determined to be a possible source of electrical interference, correct any wire harness routing or component placement conditions.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the camshaft position sensor.
- Test for less than 3 Ω between the camshaft position low reference circuit, terminal B, and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the camshaft position 5 V reference circuit, terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the camshaft position signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire to the camshaft position signal circuit terminal C.
- Ignition ON, momentarily touch the other end of the fused jumper wire to the battery negative post. The camshaft position active counter should increment.
- If the camshaft position active counter increments, test or replace the camshaft position sensor.
- If the camshaft position active counter does not increment, replace the ECM.
