CAMSHAFT OIL CONTROL VALVE ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

   2. Start the engine.

   3. Turn the tester on.

   4. Inspect the oil control valve (for intake camshaft).

      
      

      1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1).

      2. Check the engine speed when the oil control valve is operated using the intelligent tester with the engine coolant temperature 50°C (122°F) or less.

         Tech Tips

         
         

         • When performing the Active Test, the air conditioning should be on.

         • The engine coolant temperature when the engine is started should be 30°C (86°F) or less.

           OK
           Condition Specified Condition Oil control valve OFF Normal engine speed Oil control valve ON Rough idle or engine stalled (soon after oil control valve switched from OFF to ON)

   5. Inspect the oil control valve (for exhaust camshaft).

      
      

      1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 1).

      2. Check the engine speed when the oil control valve is operated using the intelligent tester with the engine coolant temperature 50°C (122°F) or less.
