Circuit/System Testing
IMPORTANT:
The DMM and test leads must be calibrated to 0 ohms in order to prevent misdiagnosis. Use the DMM to perform this test. Refer to the DMM User Manual for calibration procedure.
- With the ignition OFF, disconnect the TC vane position sensor and the ECM. Measure for a resistance of less than 10 ohms between the TC vane position sensor signal, a 5-volt reference and low reference circuits, and the ECM.
- If the resistance is over 10 ohms, repair the high resistance or poor connection in the faulty circuit.
- If the resistance is less than 10 ohms, test the TC sensor.
- With the ignition OFF, remove the turbocharger vane position sensor. Connect the vane position connector and turn ON the ignition. With a scan tool, observe the TC Vane Position parameter while slowly depressing the button on the end of sensor. Verify a smooth decreasing percent value from 100-0 percent.
- If the parameter does not decrease smoothly, replace the turbocharger vane position sensor.
- Inspect the turbocharger for debris, damage, or stuck. Refer to Turbocharger Cleaning and Inspection
.
- If all circuits, the turbocharger, and the TC vane position sensor test OK, replace the ECM.
