Test procedure
-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK
Start diagnosis
-- Remove the engine cover with air filter. Refer to the Repair information.
-- Disconnect Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- electrical harness connector.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- for resistance.
Specified value: 5.0 to 9.0 Ω (at approx. 20° C)
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Replace the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- Refer to the Repair information.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking voltage
-- Start the engine.
-- Using a multimeter, Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- electrical harness connector terminal 2 for voltage.
-- Switch the ignition OFF.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground. Refer to the wiring diagram.
-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
-- Install the test box.
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.
-- Using a multimeter, Check the Camshaft Adjustment Valve 1 -N205- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) electrical harness connector T60 terminal 45 for an open circuit. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for pin locations.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground.
-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:
-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.
-- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to the Repair information.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
