Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the 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.
  3. NOTE: A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage, B+ on the control circuit is normal.
  4. Ignition ON, engine OFF, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Connect the DMM black lead to the control circuit terminal A. Connect the DMM red lead to B+. Set the DMM on the diode setting. Command the CMP actuator solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from 2.5-3.5 V when commanded OFF to less than 1 V when commanded ON.
    • If the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  6. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
