Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, inspect the crankshaft balancer bolt for the proper torque. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications
.
- Remove the CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Replacement
.
- Connect a fused jumper wire between the control circuit of the CMP actuator solenoid and battery voltage. Connect a jumper wire between the low reference circuit of the CMP actuator solenoid and a good ground. The pintle of the solenoid should move.
- If the pintle inside the CMP actuator solenoid does not move, replace the CMP actuator solenoid.
- Inspect the CMP actuator for binding or being stuck.
- Inspect the engine for correct valve timing. Refer to Camshaft Timing Chain, Sprocket, and Tensioner Replacement
