DESCRIPTION

The exhaust camshaft's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor (EV1, EV2 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magnetoresistive Element).

The exhaust camshaft has 3 teeth on its outer circumference.

When the exhaust camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the 3 teeth and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor converts the exhaust camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends the camshaft angle data to the ECM.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

P0365

P0390

 There is no VVT sensor signal despite the crankshaft position sensor input being normal at an engine speed of 600 rpm or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in VVT sensor (for exhaust side) circuit

  • VVT sensor (for exhaust side)

  • Exhaust camshaft

  • Timing chain has jumped tooth

  • ECM

P0367

P0392

 Output voltage of the VVT sensor is below 0.3 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in VVT sensor (for exhaust side) circuit

  • VVT sensor (for exhaust side)

  • Exhaust camshaft

  • Timing chain has jumped tooth

  • ECM

P0368

P0393

 Output voltage of the VVT sensor is higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open or short in VVT sensor (for exhaust side) circuit

  • VVT sensor (for exhaust side)

  • Exhaust camshaft

  • Timing chain has jumped tooth

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If no signal is transmitted by the VVT sensor despite the camshaft revolving, or the rotations of the camshaft and crankshaft are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.

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

    *: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.

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