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:
It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").
After the above condition A is met, the OCV is forcibly activated (Condition "B").
After the above condition B is met, when the OCV is forcibly activated for 60 seconds or more, a DTC is stored (Condition "C").
DTCs P0011 and P0021 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.
DTCs P0012 and P0022 (Retarded Cam Timing) is 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).
MONITOR STRATEGY

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Accelerate the vehicle to 60 km/h (37 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds or more [C].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Tech Tips
If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [D].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending [E].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |

Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [F] through [H].
Accelerate the vehicle to 60 km/h (37 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds or more [F].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [G].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending [H].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Check the DTC judgment result again.
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the following 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 displayed, check the intake camshaft circuit for the right bank VVT system (bank 1).
If DTC P0021 or P0022 is displayed, check the intake camshaft circuit for the left bank VVT system (bank 2).
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from transmission.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 may be set when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain set even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Foreign objects are filtered out by the oil filter.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
