3. Is the measured resistance within specification?
  YES
  - Go to " 2 OCV Actuation Test".
  NO
  - Substitute with a known - good OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OCV and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
OCV Actuation Test
1. Connect GDS and IG "ON"
2. Select "OIL CONTROL VALVE" on the Actuation Test
3. Activates "OIL CONTROL VALVE" by pressing "START" button
  (Should hear a faint click from Oil Control solenoid Valve)
4. Repeat this procedure 4 or 5 times to ensure oil control solenoid valve reliability

5. Does OCV generate click sound during actuation test?
  YES
  - Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
    NOTE: There is a memory reset function on GDS that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM. Before or after testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others.
  NO
  - Substitute with a known - good OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OCV and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
