Circuit/System Verification

Note: If a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor DTC is set, the Camshaft Position Actuator output control will not function.

1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify DTC P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0345, P0346, P0365, P0366, P0390,

and P0391 is not set.

瀚慖f a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble

Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for further diagnosis.

2. Observe the appropriate control circuit status parameters listed below with a scan tool:

* The Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status Bank 1 or 2

* The Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Open Test Status Bank 1 or 2

* The Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status Bank 1 or 2

Each parameter should display OK or Not Run

3. Engine idling, command the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator from 0 degrees to 25 degrees and back to zero while observing the

appropriate control circuit status parameters listed below with a scan tool:

* The Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status Bank 1 or 2

* The Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Open Test Status Bank 1 or 2

* The Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status Bank 1 or 2

Each parameter should display OK or Not Run

4. The engine at the normal operating temperature, raise the engine speed to 2,000 RPM for 10 s. DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, or P0023 should

not set.

5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.

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 2 and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20

ECM.

Note: A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage, 1.5-4.5 V on the control circuit is

normal.

3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

瀚慖f the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.

4. Connect the DMM black lead to the control circuit terminal 1. Connect the DMM red lead to B+. Set the DMM on the diode setting.

Command the CMP actuator solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from OL when commanded OFF to less

Diagnostic Aids

* The engine oil condition has a major impact on the camshaft actuator system.

* A low oil level condition may set this DTC. The engine may require an oil change. Inquire with the customer when the last oil change was

performed. You may also monitor the scan tool Engine Oil Life parameter. Advise the customer an oil change may be required.

* Inspect the engine for any recent engine mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed camshaft, camshaft actuator, or timing chain can cause

this DTC to set.

Circuit/System Verification

Note: The engine oil level and the oil pressure are critical to the correct operation of the camshaft position actuator system. Verify that the

engine has the correct oil level and the correct oil pressure before continuing with this diagnostic.

1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool DTC information. Verify that none of the following DTCs are set. DTC P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019,

P0335, P0336, P0338, P0341, P0342, P0343, P0346, P0347, P0348, P0366, P0367, P0368, P0391, P0392, P0393, P0521, P0522, P0523,

P0638, P2100, P2101, P2102, P2103, or P2119.

瀚慖f any of the DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code

Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for further diagnosis.

2. Engine idling, command the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator from 0 degrees to 40 degrees and back to zero while observing the

appropriate scan tool Camshaft Position Variance parameters. The Camshaft Position Variance should be less than 2 degrees in each of the

commanded states.

3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.

2. Ignition ON, load test for B+ between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.

瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal

and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.

Note: Use the J 35616-200 - Test Lamp Kit for this test. If the J 35616-200 - Test Lamp Kit is not available, use a test lamp that measures

greater than 20 ohm.

3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 2 and B+.

Note: The voltage must be measured at the control side of the circuit.

4. Command the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON with a scan tool. Load test for less than 1 V between the control

circuit terminal 2 and ground.

瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the
