MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and VVT controller (camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly). The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.
If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in the actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.
Example:
A DTC is stored when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:
It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").
After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated for 10 seconds (Condition "B").
DTCs P0014 and P0024 (Advanced Camshaft Timing) are subject to 2 trip detection logic.
DTCs P0015 and P0025 (Retarded Camshaft Timing) are subject to 1 trip detection logic.
These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to a camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunction or the presence of foreign matter in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on [A].
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [B].
Drive the vehicle at approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [C].
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [D].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].
Read the pending DTCs.
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 / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
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].
Repeat the pattern of accelerating the vehicle from rest to approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) and then decelerating the vehicle 10 to 15 times [F].
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Depress the accelerator pedal by a large amount.
Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [G].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [H].
Read the pending DTCs.
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.
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
| Abnormal Bank | Timing Over Advanced (Valve timing is out of specified range) |
Timing Over Retarded (Valve timing is out of specified range) |
|---|---|---|
| Bank 1 | P0014 | P0015 |
| Bank 2 | P0024 | P0025 |
If DTC P0014 or P0015 is output, check the VVT system (for exhaust camshaft of bank 1) circuit.
If DTC P0024 or P0025 is output, check the VVT system (for exhaust 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 transmission.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 may be stored when foreign matter in the engine oil is caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. This foreign matter may then be captured 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 P0014, P0015, P0024 OR P0025)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
