INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips


  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0016 OR P0018)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

    3. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

    4. Read the DTCs.

      P0016 or P0018 and other DTCs B

      Tech Tips

      If any DTCs other than P0016 or P0018 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATE OIL CONTROL VALVE)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine and turn the tester on.

    3. Warm up the engine.

    4. Select the following menu items on the tester: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT system (Bank 1).

    5. Check the engine speed while operating the oil control valve using the tester.

      OK
      Tester Operation Specified Condition
      Oil control valve OFF Normal engine idle speed
      Oil control valve ON Engine idles roughly or stalls (soon after oil control valve switched from OFF to ON)

    OK

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (P0016 OR P0018)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

    3. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Select the check mode using the tester Click here.

    6. Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.

    7. Read the DTCs using the tester.

      OK
      No DTC output.

  4. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)


    1. A017F6CE02

      Remove the cylinder head covers RH and LH.

    2. Turn the crankshaft to align the timing marks of the crankshaft.

    3. Align the notch of the crankshaft pulley to the "0" position.

    4. Check if the timing marks of the camshaft pulley and camshaft bearing cap align.

    5. Turn the crankshaft clockwise by 360° if the timing marks do not align. Check if they align once again.

      OK
      The timing marks of the camshaft pulley and the camshaft bearing cap align when the notch of the crankshaft pulley is in the "0" position.

  5. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (FOR INTAKE CAMSHAFT)


    1. A017DB8E03

      Remove the intake camshaft timing oil control valve.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 6.9 to 7.9 Ω
    3. A017C6OE03

      Apply the positive battery voltage to terminal 1 and the negative battery voltage to terminal 2. Check the valve operation.

      OK
      Valve moves quickly.

    4. Reinstall the oil control valve.


    NG

  6. CHECK OIL PIPE AND OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER


    1. A017DKFE01

      Remove the oil pipe No. 1 or oil pipe assembly.

    2. Remove the oil control valve filter.

    3. Check that the filter and pipe are not clogged.

      OK
      The filter and pipe are not clogged.

    NG

    REPLACE OIL PIPE OR OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER

    OK

  7. REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY

  8. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

    3. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Select the check mode using the tester Click here.

    6. Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.

    7. Confirm that no DTC is set using the tester.

      OK
      No DTC output.

      Tech Tips

      DTC P0016 or P0018 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will stay output even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
