    2. No --> Repair the open in the (K44) CMP Sensor Signal circuit.

      Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .

  9. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K44) CMP Sensor Signal circuit at the CMP Sensor harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

    1. Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (K44) CMP Sensor Signal circuit.

      Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .

    2. No --> Go To 9
  10. Measure the resistance between the (K44) CMP Sensor Signal circuit and the (K7) 5-volt Supply circuit in the CMP Sensor harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

    1. Yes --> Repair the short between the (K7) 5-volt Supply circuit and the (K44) CMP Sensor Signal circuit.

      Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .

    2. No --> Go To 13
  11. Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.

    Ignition on, engine not running.

    Measure the voltage on the (K7) 5-volt Supply circuit at the CMP Sensor harness connector.

    Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?

    1. Yes --> Repair the short to voltage in the (K7) 5-volt Supply circuit.
