VVEL problem HELP**

lj909

I'm no mechanic but i do work on low voltage stuff often. I'd say from your description, you have some bad wires. I know you have run continuity test but in my experience, continuity doesn't always mean the wire is good. You've already diagnosed a voltage issue. Grab some wire length, and run a hot drop, direct from ecu to vvel, bypassing the wiring harness.

I'm with lj909: sounds like a wiring problem, a continuity check is not always a good indicator of wiring condition, and a temporary "bypass" should tell you if wiring is the problem.

Continuity for sensor readings generally doesn't mean jack. Really only good for checking CAN loops. I'll have to look at the FSM at home and not on my phone but if you have a state of no change and the code is immediate then to me that indicates you have an open or short. Check live voltages with everything connected by either back probing or wire tap is going to give you what your actual PCM is seeing.

So dumb question but did you do the position adjustment procedure when you swapped the sensors? The physical position will change the output of the sensor. Also try doing the continuity checks while moving the wiring to see if it is intermittent.
