DTC Descriptor
DTC P0660
- Intake Manifold Tuning Control Valve Control Circuit
Circuit/System Description
An intake manifold tuning valve is used to change the intake manifold plenum configuration. When the intake manifold tuning valve is open, the intake manifold is configured to one large plenum. When the intake manifold tuning valve is closed, the intake manifold is configured to two smaller plenums. The intake manifold tuning valve improves engine performance at low and high engine speeds.
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the intake manifold tuning valve solenoid. The engine control module (ECM) controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.
The intake manifold tuning valve also contains a position sensor which is used to detect the actual position of the intake manifold tuning valve in relation to its commanded position. The ECM supplies the intake manifold tuning valve position sensor with a 5 V signal circuit and the position sensor uses a common ground circuit. The position sensor enables the ECM to detect a physically broken or stuck intake manifold tuning valve.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine is operating.
* The ignition voltage is between 11-18 V.
* DTC P0660 runs continuously once the above condition is met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that commanded and actual states of output driver do not match.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0660 is a Type C DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0660 is a Type C DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Engine idling, command the Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve ON with a scan tool. The Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve vacuum actuator should move to the closed position.
2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve.
2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. Replace the fuse, if necessary.
3. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground circuit terminal 2.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance.
4. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve control circuit terminal 3 and the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1.
5. Ignition ON, command the Intake Manifold Tuning Control Valve Solenoid Open and Closed with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON when the solenoid is commanded Closed, and OFF when the solenoid is commanded Open.
• If the test lamp is always ON, test for a short to ground on the K20 Engine Control Module control circuit. If circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
• If the test lamp is always OFF, test for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance on the K20 Engine Control Module control circuit. If circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
6. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.
• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Q22 Intake Manifold Tuning Solenoid Valve.
