- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B26 crankshaft position sensor.
- Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, it may take 2 minutes for all Vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ξ© between the low reference circuit, terminal 2, 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 K20 engine control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit, terminal 3 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
- Ignition OFF, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire to the signal circuit terminal 1 of the connector and ground.
- Ignition ON, momentarily touch the other end of the fused jumper wire to the ground repeatedly while monitoring the scan tool. The Crankshaft Position Active counter, should increment.
- If the Crankshaft Position Active counter does not increment, replace the K20 engine control module.
