Circuit/System Verification
- Observe the engine oil level. The engine oil level should be within operating range. Refer to Approximate Fluid Capacities .
- Ensure that the vehicle has the correct engine oil and is not old, burnt or contains additives.
- If the vehicle has the incorrect engine oil, is old, burnt, or contains additives then change the oil and filter.
- Test the engine oil pressure for correct operation. Refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing .
- Allow the engine to reach operating temperature.
- Set the parking brake and place the vehicle in park for automatic, or neutral for manual.
- Observe the CMP variance parameter. The CMP Variance will rise for 1-2 seconds until the CMP Angle parameter matches the Desired CMP parameter. The CMP Variance should again return to 0 degrees.
- Command the CMP actuator to 20 degrees. The Desired CMP parameter should match the CMP Angle parameter.
IMPORTANT:
The supply of clean pressurized engine oil to the CMP actuator is essential to CMP actuator performance.
IMPORTANT:
The engine will run rough and may require throttle input to keep running.
