Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B23 camshaft position sensor.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, it may take 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down, test for less than 1 Ω on 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 K20 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 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.
- 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 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 fused jumper wire to the camshaft position signal circuit terminal C.
- Ignition ON, momentarily touch the other the other end of the fused jumper wire to the battery negative post. The scan tool should show the Camshaft Position Active counter incrementing.
- If the Camshaft Position Active counter increments, test or replace the B23 camshaft position sensor.
- If the Camshaft Position Active counter does not increment, replace the K20 ECM.
