- Ignition OFF, disconnect the Camshaft Position Sensor and Actuator Magnet jumper harness connector. Refer to Inline Harness Connector End Views for connector identification.
- Ignition OFF for 1 minute, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the low reference circuit terminal E and ground.
- If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, engine OFF, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the control circuit terminal D and ground.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Connect the DMM black lead to the control circuit terminal D. 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.
- If 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 ECM.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the control circuit terminal D and ground.
- If not the specified value, repair the control circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for 5.0-9.0 Ξ© between the control circuit terminal D and the low reference circuit terminal E.
- If less than the specified range, test for a short between the control circuit and the low reference circuit. If the circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the Camshaft Position Actuator Magnet.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit and the low reference for an open/high resistance. If the circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the Camshaft Position Actuator Magnet.
- If all circuits test normal, repair the poor connection at the camshaft position sensor jumper wire harness.
NOTE:
Testing for steps 2-4 is performed on the ECM side of the jumper harness connector.
NOTE:
A test lamp must be used for this test. The control circuit is pulled-up to a low current voltage. A voltage on the control circuit is normal.
NOTE:
Testing for steps 5 and 6 is performed on the engine side of the jumper harness connector.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
