Signal Too Low. Permanent Fault






Signal too low. Permanent fault

Checking cables
Check the camshaft reset valve resistance between #1 and #2, resistance should be approximately 3.7 ohms.
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) #A13 and camshaft reset valve #2 for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check power supply cable #5 and camshaft reset valve #1 for a short-circuit to ground according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Remedy as necessary

Other information:
- To connect the breakout box, see Connecting the breakout box, B5254T2 Connecting the Test Box.
- With the ignition on and the camshaft reset valve connector disconnected the voltage on connector #1 should be approximately Ubatt and at connector #2 it should be a pulse modulated signal with a peak voltage of approximately Ubatt and with a frequency of approximately 250 Hz.

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing

No - Attempt New Test
