Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the TC vane control solenoid.
  2. IMPORTANT: When the engine coolant temperature is less than 70°C (158°F), the test lamp will change brightness when commanded with a scan tool. When the ECM is attempting a TC Learn, the test lamp will flash ON and OFF without commands from a scan tool.
  3. Connect the J 34730-405  between the high control circuit terminal A and the low control circuit terminal B.
  4. Engine running, engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor 1 must be less than 70°C (158°F). Command the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should illuminate and change from bright to dim when changing between the commanded states.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low control circuit terminal B for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test the high control circuit terminal A for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
    • If the test lamp remains illuminated, test the low control circuit terminal B for a short to ground.
  5. Ignition OFF, test for a resistance between 2-7 ohms across the terminals of the TC vane control solenoid.
    • If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the TC vane position solenoid.
  6. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the TC vane control solenoid housing.
    • If less than infinite resistance, replace the TC vane control solenoid.
  7. If all circuits test normal, replace the TC control vane control solenoid.
