Circuit/System Testing
- Engine idling, move the related harnesses/connectors of the appropriate B23 camshaft position sensor while monitoring the scan tool Camshaft Position Variance parameter. The Camshaft Position Variance parameter should not change when moving the harness/connectors.
- If the above condition exists, repair the harness/connectors as necessary.
- Ignition OFF, inspect the appropriate B23 CMP sensor for correct installation.
- If the B23 camshaft position sensor is loose, inspect the sensor and the O-ring for damage, and replace as necessary.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B23 camshaft position sensor.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 minutes, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the appropriate 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the affected signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the affected signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire to the camshaft position signal circuit terminal 3.
- Ignition ON, momentarily touch the end of the fused jumper wire to the ground while monitoring the scan tool Camshaft Position Active Counter. The Camshaft Position Active Counter should increment.
- If the Camshaft Position Active Counter does not increment, replace the K20 ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the B23 camshaft position sensor.
