瀚慖f a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for further diagnosis.
2. Engine idling, command the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator from 0 degrees to 20 degrees and back to zero while observing the
appropriate scan tool Camshaft Position Variance parameters. The Camshaft Position Variance should be less than 2 degrees in each of the
commanded states.
3. 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 you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
2. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 ohm
between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20
ECM.
Note: A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage, 1.5-4.5 V on the control circuit is
normal.
3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.
瀚慖f the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
4. Connect the DMM black lead to the control circuit terminal 1. Connect the DMM red lead to B+. Set the DMM on the diode setting.
Command the CMP actuator solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from OL when commanded OFF to less
than 1 V when commanded ON.
瀚慖f the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to ground. If
the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
5. Remove the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. Verify the following conditions do not exist with the Camshaft Position Actuator
Solenoid Valve:
* Torn, restricted, mis-positioned, or missing screens at the CMP actuator solenoid
* Engine oil leak between the oil sealing lands of the CMP actuator solenoid. Inspect the lands of the CMP actuator solenoid for nicks.
* Oil seepage at the CMP actuator solenoid connector
瀚慖f a condition is found, replace Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
6. Ignition OFF, swap the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve with a Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve that is
operating correctly.
7. Engine idling. Command the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator from 0 degrees to 20 degrees and back to zero while observing the
appropriate scan tool Camshaft Position Variance parameters. The Camshaft Position Variance should be less than 2 degrees in each of the
commanded states.
瀚慖f greater than the specified value, replace the mechanical camshaft position actuator.
8. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
2. Test for 5-12 ohm between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and the control circuit terminal 2 of the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid
Valve.
瀚慖f not within the specified range, replace the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve housing.
瀚慖f not the specified value, replace the Q6 Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
* Camshaft Position Actuator Replacement - Bank 1 (LF1) (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Camshaft, Lifters and Push
Rods/Camshaft/Service and Repair/Camshaft Position Actuator Replacement - Bank 1)
