Circuit/System Verification- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Verify the DTC does not set.
- All OK.
Circuit/System Testing- Ignition/Vehicle and all vehicle systems OFF.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the S126 Drive Mode Select Switch.
- Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 10 and ground.
- Ignition/vehicle OFF.
- 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.
- Ignition ON/Vehicle in service mode, test for 4.8V — 5.2V between the 5V reference circuit terminal 9 and ground.
- Test circuit 4109 for a short to ground.
- If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- If a short to ground is not found.
- Test circuit 4109 for an open/high resistance.
- If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- If an open/high resistance is not found.
- Replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test circuit 4109 for a short to voltage.
- If a short to voltage is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- If a short to voltage is not found.
- Replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Ignition/vehicle OFF, disconnect the appropriate connector for circuit 4108 at the K20 Engine Control Module.
- Test the signal circuit 4108 for an open/high resistance.
- If an open/high resistance is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- If an open/high resistance is not found.
- Test the signal circuit 4108 for a short to ground.
- If a short to ground is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- If a short to ground is not found.
- Test the signal circuit 4108 for a short to B+.
- If a short to B+ is found, repair the fault on the circuit.
- If a short to B+ is not found.
- Replace the S126 Drive Mode Select Switch.
- Operate the vehicle with the Conditions for Running the DTC. Verify the DTC does not set.
- All OK.
