Component Testing

Static Test

  1. Ignition OFF, remove the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
  2. Test for 5.0-9.0 Ω between the solenoid control terminal 2 and the low reference terminal 1 at the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
    • If not within the specified range, replace the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
  3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal of the magnet and the magnet housing.
    • If not the specified value, replace the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.

Dynamic Test

  1. Remove the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
  2. NOTE:
    • The camshaft position actuator magnet pintle should be facing downward for this test.
    • Do not allow electrical current to flow through the camshaft position actuator magnet for greater than 1-2 s.
  3. Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal 2 and 12 V. Momentarily install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal 1 and ground. The pintle should extend.
    • If the function does not perform as specified, replace the Q6 camshaft position actuator magnet.
