Circuit/System Testing

    NOTE:

    Additional DTCs will set when disconnecting components.

  1. Vehicle in Service Mode.
  2. Test for 4.8-5.2V between the 5V reference circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor X1 terminal 1
    • Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor X1 terminal 6
    • A/C Refrigerant Pressure Sensor X1 terminal 2
    • If less than 4.8V 
    1. Vehicle Off, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 ECM.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the 5V reference circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the 5V reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 ECM.
    • If greater than 5.2V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 ECM, vehicle ON.
    2. Test for less than 1V between the 5V reference circuit and ground.
      • If 1V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1V, replace the K20 ECM.
    • If between 4.8-5.2V 
  3. Replace the appropriate sensor.
