Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:

You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system by verifying that none of the conditions listed below exist:
    • Any damaged components
    • Improperly installed components
    • Collapsed, restricted, or damaged components
    • Loose clamps, cracks, or other damage
    • An air flow restriction
    • Restricted air filter
    • Splits, kinks, leaks, or improper connections at the vacuum hoses
    • Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, MAP sensor, and throttle body
    • Water intrusion
    • Any snow or ice buildup, in cold climates
    • Contamination of the multifunction intake air sensor element
    • If a condition is found 

      Repair or replace component as appropriate.

    • If no condition is found 
  2. Ignition OFF. Disconnect the harness connector at the B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor.
  3. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 7 and ground.
    • If 5 Ω or greater 
    1. Disconnect the sensor chassis ground.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ground circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, repair the open/high resistance in the ground connection.
    • If less than 5 Ω 
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is good 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp and remove the fuse for the ignition voltage circuit.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the ignition voltage circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, verify the fuse is not open and there is voltage at the fuse.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate and the circuit fuse is open 
    1. Ignition OFF, remove the test lamp and remove the fuse for the ignition voltage circuit.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the ignition voltage circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance, test all components connected to the ignition circuit, replace as necessary.
    • If a test lamp illuminates 
  5. Ignition ON, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 Engine Control Module, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    • If between 4.8 - 5.2 V 
  6. Test or replace the B75C Multifunction Intake Air Sensor.
