CAMSHAFT TIMING CONTROL MOTOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT CAM TIMING CONTROL MOTOR WITH EDU ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Check Rotation Direction Signal:

      
      

      1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

      3. Turn the GTS on.

      4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / VVT-iE Motor Direction Bank1.

         
         Powertrain > Engine > Data List

         Tester Display
         VVT-iE Motor Direction Bank 1

      5. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

         Specified Condition
         GTS Display Condition Specified Condition VVT-iE Motor Direction Bank1 Engine switch off → Engine switch on (IG) Backward

         Tech Tips

         If the result is not as specified, inspect the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly and wire harness.

   2. Check VVT Change Angle:

      
      

      1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

      3. Turn the GTS on.

      4. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.

      5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT-iE Opening Angle Bank 1 / Data List / Intake VVT Change Angle Bank 1 and Intake VVT Target Angle Bank 1.

         
         Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

         Active Test Display
         Control the VVT-iE Opening Angle Bank 1

         Data List Display
         Intake VVT Change Angle Bank 1
         Intake VVT Target Angle Bank 1

      6. Read the Data List while performing the Active Test with the engine idling.

         Specified Condition
         Active Test Movement Order Difference between "Intake VVT Change Angle Bank 1" and "Intake VVT Target Angle Bank 1" 0 deg → 10 deg → 20 deg → 40 deg → 0 deg → 10 deg → END Within 4 DegFR

         Tech Tips

         If the result is not as specified, inspect the cam timing control motor with EDU assembly and camshaft timing gear assembly.
