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 camshaft position sensor for correct installation.
- If the camshaft position sensor is loose, inspect the sensor and the O-ring for damage, and replace as necessary.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the B23 camshaft position sensor.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take 2 minutes, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 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 K20 ECM.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal C and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire to the camshaft position signal circuit terminal C.
- Ignition ON, momentarily touch the end of the fused jumper wire to ground while monitoring the scan tool camshaft position active counter. The camshaft position active counter should increment.
- If the camshaft position active counter does not increment, replace the K20 ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the B23 camshaft position sensor.
