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.

      Tech Tips

      If any DTCs other than P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
