Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at Q38 throttle body.
2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohm
between the low reference circuit terminal C and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests
normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal E and ground.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20
engine control module.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
4. Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool Throttle Position Sensor 1 Voltage parameter is less than 0.3 V.
瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal D for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20
engine control module.
5. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5 V reference circuit terminal E and the throttle position sensor 1 signal circuit terminal D.
Verify the scan tool Throttle Position Sensor 1 Voltage parameter is greater than 4.89 V.
瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the K20 engine control module.
6. Verify the scan tool Throttle Position Sensor 2 Voltage parameter is greater than 4.97 V.
瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal F for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine
control module.
Note: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage.
7. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the throttle position sensor 2 signal circuit terminal F and the low reference circuit terminal C.
Verify the scan tool Throttle Position Sensor 2 Voltage parameter is less than 0.10 V.
瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal,
replace the K20 engine control module.
8. If all circuits test normal, replace the Q38 throttle body assembly.
