Circuit/System Testing
- Engine idling, move the related harnesses/connectors of the B23 camshaft position sensor while monitoring the scan tool Camshaft Position Variance parameter. The Camshaft Position Variance parameter should not change when moving the harness/connectors.
- If the above condition exists, repair the harness/connectors as necessary.
- Ignition OFF, inspect the B23 camshaft position sensor for correct installation.
- If the B23 camshaft position sensor is loose, inspect the sensor and the O-ring for damage, and replace as necessary.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the B23 camshaft position sensor.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take 2 minutes, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the B23 camshaft position sensor.
