Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. INSPECT THE ACTIVE EXHAUST VALVE 2 ASSEMBLY FOR SIGNS OF PHYSICAL DAMAGE 
    1. Inspect the Active Exhaust Valve 2 Assembly and connector for damage due to road debris.

      Is the Active Exhaust Valve 2 Assembly or connector damaged or disconnected?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (F929) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Active Exhaust Valve 2 harness connector.
    3. Measure the voltage on the (F929) Fused B+ circuit at the Active Exhaust Valve 2 harness connector.
    4. Is the voltage equal to battery voltage?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the (F929) Fused B+ circuit for an open or short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. CHECK THE (Z922) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z922) Ground circuit at the Active Exhaust Valve 2 harness connector.

      Is resistance less than 3.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the (Z922) Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. CHECK THE (D511) LIN BUS CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
    2. Check resistance between ground and the (D511) LIN BUS circuit at the Active Exhaust Valve 2 harness connector.

      Is resistance less than 3.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (D511) LIN BUS circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK THE (D511) LIN BUS CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    CAUTION:

    Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.

    1. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic).
    2. Measure the resistance of the (D511) LIN BUS circuit between the Active Exhaust Valve 2 harness connector and the GPEC Adaptor.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7

      No 

      • Repair the (D511) LIN BUS circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  7. ACTIVE EXHAUST VALVE 2 ACTUATOR 
    1. Replace the Active Exhaust Valve 2 Actuator in accordance with the Service Information.
    2. Reconnect the PCM harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    5. Start the engine and allow it to idle for a minimum of one minute.
    6. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  8

      No 

  8. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Active Exhaust Valve 2 Actuator and the PCM.
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
