Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. Inspect the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve and mounting area for the following conditions:
- For a torn, restricted, mis-positioned, or missing screens at the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve
- For engine oil leaks between the oil sealing lands of the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. Inspect the lands of the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve for nicks
- For oil seepage at the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve connector
- If a condition is found, replace Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
- Inspect for the following conditions:
- Excessive timing chain play-Refer to Camshaft Timing Chain and Sprocket Cleaning and Inspection .
- For the correct operation of the mechnaical CMP actuator assembly. Refer to PSD SIE TITLE Error: SIE linked to empty Cell ID 151161 .
- If a condition is found, repair as necessary.
- If all circuits/components test normal, test or replace the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
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.
