    Default Afm ( active fuel management ) aka d.o.d.

    using the efi scan tool and commanding the A-D solenoids on and off one cylinder has a noise as if the lifter has an issue with latching and unlatching.

    my question is does anybody know which solenoid is for which cylinder ?

    wiring diagrams show pin location at the VLOM is A-E

    A-cylinder 4
    B-cylinder 6
    C-cylinder 1
    D-cylinder 7

    Im unsure if thats how EFILive is using to figure out which one is which.....

    using the gm tech 2 it commands them all off or on by funtion and the EFILive scan tool has them individually

    Sorry I don't know how GM assign the cylinder number to A-D solenoid.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    If you have access to the solenoid wiring, you may be able to probe with a DMM and see which cylinder gets commanded from the V7 scantool.

    I mean I can pull the rocker covers off and at idle figure it out I just was curious if anybody knew off the top of their head. But thanks for the replys I'll figure it out eventually when I get working in the car again and when I find out I'll let you guys know :-)

    Locate the wire harness, and if there is a connector, back probe it, otherwise use a piercing probe (and seal the hole immediately afterwards).

    I figured it out. A,b,c,d just stands for in which order of the firing order the cylinders are fired in.
