DTC Code DTC Name
P1046 Driver Detects Difference between Target and Actual Valvematic Angle
P1055 ECM Detects Difference between Target and Actual Valvematic Angle

DESCRIPTION

The VALVEMATIC system is able to continuously change the valve lift amount and valve timing. The VALVEMATIC system cooperates with the VVT-i to adjust the valve lift amount and valve timing optimally according to driving conditions. The ECM calculates the target intake air amount based on the amount the accelerator pedal is depressed and the engine speed to determine the value lift amount (duration), valve timing and throttle valve opening angle. The continuously variable valve lift controller assembly operates the actuator to adjust the duration to the duration requested by the ECM via CAN communication. The actual operating conditions are monitored by the sensors in the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly, which send the actual duration value to the ECM. The continuously variable valve lift controller assembly consists of the EDU, actuator, differential roller gear, angle sensor and position sensor.

Perform the following procedures to confirm that the VALVEMATIC system is operating normally.


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Start the engine.

  3. Turn the GTS on.

  4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VALVEMATIC (ENG ON) / All Data / VALVEMATIC Current Angle and VALVEMATIC Target Angle.

    Note

    Make sure the following conditions are met when performing the Active Test.


    • The engine is running.

    • The engine coolant temperature is 40°C (104°F) or higher.

    • The vehicle is stationary.

    • The shift lever is in P or N (neutral).

    Result
    The "VALVEMATIC Current Angle" follows the "VALVEMATIC Target Angle".

Tech Tips

Perform a simulation test by referring to the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature recorded in the freeze frame data.

When the Active Test results are abnormal, remove the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly from the camshaft housing and perform the "Activate the VALVEMATIC (ENG OFF)" Active Test with the removed continuously variable valve lift controller to determine whether the problem is with the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly or camshaft housing.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The VALVEMATIC system is monitored by the EDU (DTC P1046) in the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly and the ECM (DTC P1055). When a VALVEMATIC system malfunction is detected and DTC P1046 is not output, DTC P1055 is output.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Start the engine and warm it up.

  3. Turn the GTS on.

  4. Clear the DTCs Click here.

  5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  6. Start the engine and idle it for 20 seconds.

  7. Turn the GTS on.

  8. Clear the DTCs Click here.

  9. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  10. Start the engine and idle it for 20 seconds.

  11. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  12. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  13. Turn the GTS on.

  14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

  15. Read the DTCs.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • If DTC P1047 is output at the same time as DTC P1046, disregard DTC P1047 and proceed with the inspection.

  • After performing repairs, perform the confirmation driving pattern and check that DTCs are not output again.

  • 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


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Trouble Codes

    5. Read the DTCs.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC P1046 and/or P1055 are output A
      DTC P0112, P0113, P0115, P0117 or P0118 is output at same time as DTC P1046 and/or P1055 B

      Tech Tips


      • If an engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction DTC or intake air temperature sensor malfunction DTC is output at the same time as DTC P1046, check the corresponding temperature sensor first.

      • After repairing the temperature sensor, clear the DTCs, perform a simulation test and check that the temperature sensor DTC is not output.

      • When the temperature sensor DTC does not reoccur but DTC P1046 is output again, perform troubleshooting from the next step. If a DTC is not output, troubleshooting is complete.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (ACTIVATE THE VALVEMATIC (ENG OFF))


    1. Remove the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly from the camshaft housing sub-assembly Click here.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VALVEMATIC (ENG OFF) / All Data / VALVEMATIC Current Angle.

    6. When the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly is operated using the GTS, check whether the shaft moves Click here.

      Note


      • Make sure to perform the "Activate the VALVEMATIC (ENG OFF)" Active Test with the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly removed from the vehicle.

      • Perform the Active Test with the body of the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly connected to ground, as the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly is grounded through the body.

      Result
      Tester Operation Specified Condition
      Low VALVEMATIC Current Angle is 100 to 120 deg(CA) and shaft extends
      High VALVEMATIC Current Angle is 250 deg(CA) or more and shaft retracts

      Tech Tips


      • If the malfunction does not reoccur, refer to the engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature recorded in the freeze frame data and perform a simulation test.
