Signal too high. 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 supply voltage 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, B5244T5, B5254T2 Connecting the Breakout Box.
- To access/replace the camshaft reset valve, see Variable valve timing solenoid, replacing Removal and Replacement.
- 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.
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Specification, ECM.
