Circuit/System Testing
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool while manipulating all related wiring and connectors.
- If manipulation does affect the AIR Pressure Sensor parameter then repair the harness or connector.
- With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, and the solenoid valve disconnected, measure for a voltage range of 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit and a good ground.
- If less than 4.8 volts then test the 5-volt reference circuit for high resistance, If the circuit test normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, and the solenoid valve disconnected, inspect for an AIR Pressure Sensor parameter reading on a scan tool of approximately 40 kPa.
- If more than approximately 40 kPa, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage, If the circuit test normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, the solenoid valve disconnected, and a 3-amp fused jumper installed between the signal and 5-volt reference circuits, inspect for an AIR Pressure Sensor parameter reading on a scan tool of approximately 140 kPa
- If less than approximately 140 kPa, test the signal circuit for an open, or a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, the solenoid valve disconnected, a 300 ohm fixed resistor, an appropriate length of secondary ignition wire may be adequate, installed between the 5-volt reference circuit and the low reference circuit, and a fused jumper connected from the signal circuit to the 5-volt reference circuit at the fixed resistor, observe an AIR pressure sensor parameter reading on a scan tool of 5.0 volts.
- If less than 5 volts, test the 5-volt reference circuit and the signal circuit for high resistance, If the circuit test normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition ON, the engine OFF, the solenoid valve disconnected, a 300 ohm fixed resistor, an appropriate length of secondary ignition wire may be adequate, installed between the 5-volt reference circuit and the low reference circuit, and a 3-amp fused jumper connected from the signal circuit to the low reference circuit at the fixed resistor, observe for a pressure sensor parameter reading on a scan tool of 0 volts.
- If more than 0 volts, test the low reference circuit for high resistance, If the circuit test normal, replace the control module.
- If all circuits and the control module test normal, replace the solenoid valve.
