Static Test
1. Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description ( See: Hybrid Drive
Systems/Description and Operation/Hybrid Modes of Operation).
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Hood Position parameter displays Open.
瀚慖f not the specified value, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for DTC P254F.
3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
4. Connect the harness that is labeled resistance from the displacement on demand (DOD) tester to the valve lifter oil manifold connector.
5. Connect the power leads from the DOD tester to B+ and ground. Test for 11-18 ohm on each valve lifter oil manifold solenoid.
瀚慖f not within the specified range for each solenoid, replace the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
6. Test for infinite resistance between each valve lifter oil manifold circuit terminal and the valve lifter oil manifold housing.
瀚慖f not the specified value, replace the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
Dynamic Test
1. Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description ( See: Hybrid Drive
Systems/Description and Operation/Hybrid Modes of Operation).
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Hood Position parameter displays Open.
瀚慖f not the specified value, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for DTC P254F.
3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
4. Connect the cable that is labeled power from the displacement on demand DOD tester to the connector.
5. Connect the power leads from the DOD tester to B+ and ground.
6. Command each valve lifter oil manifold solenoid ON and OFF using the DOD tester. You should be able to hear each solenoid turn ON and
OFF.
瀚慖f the function does not perform as specified, replace the valve lifter oil manifold assembly.
