| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P1342 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Low Input (MRE) |
| P1343 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" High Input (MRE) |
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P1340.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1342 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Low Input (MRE) | Output voltage of camshaft position sensor less than 0.3 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P1343 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" High Input (MRE) | Output voltage of camshaft position sensor higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| *a | 5 V/DIV. |
| *b | 20 ms./DIV. |
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
Tech Tips
The correct waveform is as shown.
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases.
| ECM Terminal Name | Between G2+ and G2- |
| Tester Range | 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Condition | Idling with warm engine |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the output voltage transmitted by the vvt sensor remains low or high, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Required sensors/Components (Main) | Camshaft position sensor |
| Required sensors/Components (Related) | Crankshaft position sensor |
| Frequency of Operation | Continuous |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the pending DTC [B].
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P1342 or P1343.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder.*
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
