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.
    • The engine oil condition has a major impact on the camshaft actuator system. Debris in the oil can interfere with the camshaft position actuator solenoid and the mechanical camshaft actuator operation. Inspect for dirty or degraded crankcase oil. 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 Remaining parameter. Advise the customer an oil change may be required.
  1. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool DTC information. Verify that none of the following DTCs are set. DTC P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0521, P0522, P0523, P1516, P2101, P2119, or P2176.
  2. Engine idling at the normal operating temperature. Monitor the engine oil pressure parameter with a scan tool. The engine oil pressure should be greater than the minimum hot oil pressure values. Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications (6.2L LS3) or Engine Mechanical Specifications (6.2L L99) .
    3. NOTE: If a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor DTC is set, the Camshaft Position Actuator output control will not function.
  3. Command the camshaft position actuator solenoid to 20° with a scan tool. The Desired Camshaft Position parameter should match the Camshaft Position parameter.
  4. Observe the Camshaft Position Variance parameter with a scan tool. The Camshaft Position Variance will increment for several seconds, until the Camshaft Position value matches the Desired Camshaft Position value. The Camshaft Position Variance value should return to 0°.
  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 are captured in the Freeze Fame/Failure Records Data List.
