Circuit/System Testing
- With the ignition OFF, Inspect the engine wiring harnesses carrying the CMP sensor circuits for the following conditions:
- Close routing of aftermarket electrical equipment
- Close to solenoids, motors, and relays
- Correct any wire harness routing or component placement conditions, if it is determined to be a possible source of electrical interference.
- Disconnect the cam sensor.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts at the ECM side of the connector between the 5-volt reference circuit of the CMP sensor and a good ground.
- If the voltage is less than 4.8 volts, test for an open in the 5-volt reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, measure for 4.8-5.2 volts at the ECM side of the connector between the CMP sensor signal circuit and a good ground.
- If the voltage is less than 4.8 volts, test for an open or a short to ground in the CMP sensor signal circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- If the voltage is more than 5.2 volts, test for a short to voltage in the CMP sensor signal circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, measure for 1-3 mA, at the ECM side of the connector between the CMP sensor signal circuit and a good ground.
- If the amperage is more than 3 mA, test the CMP sensor signal circuit for a short to the 5-volt reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- Connect a fused jumper wire to a good ground.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, observe the CMP Sensor parameter on the scan tool.
- Touch the jumper wire to the CMP sensor signal circuit repeatedly at the ECM side of the connector. The CMP Sensor parameter should display a value other than 0 RPM.
- If the CMP Sensor parameter displays 0 RPM, replace the ECM.
- With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, measure for B+ at the ECM side of the connector between the low reference circuit of the CMP sensor and the battery positive post.
- If the voltage measured between the low reference circuit and the battery positive post is not the same as voltage measured between a good ground and the battery positive post, test for an open/high resistance in the low reference circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- With the ignition OFF, inspect the wiring harness to the CMP sensor, for any damage, opens, or shorts.
- Repair any wiring or connector damage, if necessary.
- Inspect the CMP sensor for looseness. Remove the CMP sensor from the engine and inspect the sensor and the O-ring for damage.
- Repair or replace the CMP sensor, if necessary.
- Reconnect the CMP sensor to the harness.
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- While observing the CMP Sensor and CMP Active Counter parameters on the scan tool, pass a steel object by the tip of the sensor repeatedly. The CMP Active Counter parameter should increment and the CMP Sensor parameter should display a value other than 0 RPM.
- If the parameters remain at 0, replace the CMP sensor.
- Inspect the reluctor wheel for damage.
