S : P1396. VVT LEFT-HAND BANK

G92429t114 : CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE LEFT-HAND BANK WT SOLENOID
1. Disconnect the VVT solenoid electrical connector, EN42.
2. Measure the resistance between the VVT solenoid electrical connector EN42 pin 2 (BG) and GROUND.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes

-> No
REPAIR the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector EN42 pin 2 (BG) and GROUND. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92429t115 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE LEFT-HAND BANK VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE.
1. Measure the resistance between VVT solenoid electrical connector EN42 pin 1 (G) and ECM electrical connector EN16 pin110(G).

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes

-> No
REPAIR the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector EN42 pin 1 (G) and ECM electrical connector EN16 pin 110 (G). CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92429t106 : CHECK FOR SHORT TO GROUND AT THE LEFT-HAND BANK WT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE
1. Disconnect the ECM electrical connector EN16.
2. Measure the resistance between EN61 pin 1 (RW) and GROUND.

- Is the resistance less than 10,000 ohms?

-> Yes
REPAIR the short to GROUND. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

-> No

G92429t160 : CHECK FOR SHORT TO BATTERY AT THE LEFT-HAND BANK VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE
1. TURN the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Check for a voltage at EN61 pin 1 (RW).

- Is the voltage greater than 1 volt?

-> Yes
REPAIR the short circuit. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

-> No
INSTALL a new left-hand bank VVT solenoid. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
