DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0010 Click here.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0011 P0021 |
Intake valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the advance range (1 trip detection logic). |
|
| P0012 P0022 |
Intake valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the retard range (2 trip detection logic). |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake camshaft) and the VVT controller (camshaft timing gear assembly). The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake camshaft). This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake camshaft.
If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is large, and changes in the actual intake valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.
Example:
A DTC is stored when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:
It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").
After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake camshaft) is forcibly activated for 10 seconds (Condition "B").
DTCs P0011 and P0021 (Advanced Cam Timing) are subject to 1 trip detection logic.
DTCs P0012 and P0022 (Retarded Cam Timing) are subject to 2 trip detection logic.
These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to a camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake camshaft) malfunction or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake camshaft).

| Both of the following conditions are met | - |
| Deviation of actual valve timing and target valve timing | More than 5°CA (Crankshaft Angle) for 5 seconds or more after the VVT hold duty ratio learned value reaches the upper or lower limit. |
| Valve timing | No change at advanced valve timing |
| Both of the following conditions are met | - |
| Deviation of actual valve timing and target valve timing | More than 5°CA (Crankshaft Angle) for 5 seconds or more after the VVT hold duty ratio learned value reaches the upper or lower limit. |
| Valve timing | No change at retarded valve timing |
If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timing is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly for 10 seconds by applying and releasing oil pressure. Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 10 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
| Abnormal Bank | Timing Over Advanced (Valve timing is out of specified range) |
Timing Over Retarded (Valve timing is out of specified range) |
|---|---|---|
| Bank 1 | P0011 | P0012 |
| Bank 2 | P0021 | P0022 |
If DTC P0011 or P0012 is output, check the VVT system (for intake camshaft of bank 1) circuit.
If DTC P0021 or P0022 is output, check the VVT system (for intake camshaft of bank 2) circuit.
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transaxle.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 may be stored when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Those foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter.
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
