Variable Induction Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

Intake Flap Motor/Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor, Checking

NOTE: Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing terminals in the electrical harness connector of the Intake Flap Motor V157 / Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor G336.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.

Test requirements
- The Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 fuses OK.
- Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.
- All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.
- Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position "P" or "N".
- A/C switched off.
- Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.
- Ignition switched off.

Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. General Diagnosis

Start diagnosis







- Remove engine cover - arrows -.







- Disconnect the Intake Flap Motor V157 / Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor G336 electrical harness connector - arrow -.
- Switch the ignition on.







- Using a multimeter , check the Intake Flap Motor V157 / Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor G336 electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage.
- Specified value: about 5 V
- Switch ignition off.

If the specified value was obtained:
- Replace the Intake Flap Motor V157 / Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor G336.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.
- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.
- Using a Multimeter , check the Intake Flap Motor V157 / Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor G336 electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 electrical harness connector T60 terminals for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for an open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:
- Erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes
