Valve timing is not adjusted in valve timing retard range

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Valve timing

  • Camshaft timing oil control valve for exhaust side (bank 1, 2)

  • Camshaft timing oil control valve filter (bank 1, 2)

  • Camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION


  1. The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, camshaft timing oil control valve and VVT controller.

  2. The ECM sends a target duty cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.

    If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller being stuck and stores a DTC.


    • Example:

    • A DTC is stored when the following conditions 1 and 2 are met for 10 seconds or more:

    • 1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA.

    • 2. After the above condition 1 is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve is forcibly activated 63 times or more.

  3. These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Abnormal Bank

Advanced Timing Over

(Valve timing is out of specified range)

Retarded Timing Over

(Valve timing is out of specified range)
Bank 1 P0014 P0015
Bank 2 P0024 P0025

  • If DTC P0014 or P0015 is displayed, check the bank 1 VVT system for exhaust side circuit.

  • Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes No. 1 cylinder.

  • If DTC P0024 or P0025 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system for exhaust side circuit.

  • Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include No. 1 cylinder.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 OR P0025)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

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

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / DTC.

    4. Read the DTCs.

      Result Proceed to
      DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is output A
      DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

      If any DTCs other than P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (OIL CONTROL VALVE FOR EXHAUST SIDE OPERATION)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine and turn the tester ON.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 1) or Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 2).

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

      OK
      Tester Operation Engine Condition
      0% Normal engine speed
      100% Engine idles roughly or stalls

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 OR P0025)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

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

    3. Clear the DTC Click here.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the intelligent tester Click here.

    6. With the engine warmed up, idle it for 1 minute. Then drive the vehicle for 5 minutes.

    7. Read the DTC using the intelligent tester.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is output A
      DTC is not output B

      Tech Tips

      DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will stay registered even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
