Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the IMT valve harness connector at the IMT valve.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the IMT valve ground circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the fuse for the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit is open, test or replace the IMT valve.
- Connect a test lamp between the IMT valve control circuit terminal C and the IMT valve ignition 1 voltage circuit.
- Command the IMT valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
- If the test lamp is always ON, test the IMT valve control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the test lamp is always OFF, test the IMT valve control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4-6 volts between the IMT valve signal circuit terminal D and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the IMT valve signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the IMT valve signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the IMT valve signal circuit terminal D and ground. Verify the scan tool IMT valve Feedback parameter transitions from 0-100 percent.
- If parameter does not change, test the IMT valve signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the IMT valve.
