NOTE:
Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Checks if Code P035 is set because a REF LO problem can cause other ignition problems.
- Checks resistance of camshaft position sensor. Resistance should be 800-1200 ohms. If resistance is greater, check for an open circuit. If resistance is less, check for a short.
- Checks if circuits No. 632 or 633 is shorted to ground.
- Checks if sensor is able to produce a DC voltage greater than 0.2 volt. If it can, sensor is okay.
- A reading of 4 Hertz with engine running means that ignition control module is producing cam pulses.
- Checks if circuit is at fault or if ICM is faulty.
