P0013, P0023

DTC Code	DTC Name
P0013	Camshaft Position "B" Actuator Circuit / Open (Bank 1)
P0023	Camshaft Position "B" Actuator Circuit / Open (Bank 2)

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is designed to detect opens or shorts in the Camshaft Oil Control Valve (OCV) circuit. If the OCV duty-cycle is excessively high or low while the engine is running, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.
The VVT (variable valve timing) system adjusts the intake valve timing to improve the driveability. The engine oil pressure turns the camshaft actuator to adjust the valve timing. The OCV is a solenoid valve and switches the engine oil line. The valve moves when the ECM applies 12 volts to the solenoid. The ECM changes the energizing time to the solenoid (duty-cycle) in accordance with the camshaft position, crankshaft position, throttle position, etc.

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0013	An open or short in the Camshaft Oil Control Valve (OCV) for exhaust side (for Bank 1) circuit (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in Camshaft Oil Control Valve (OCV) (for exhaust side of Bank 1) circuit OCV (for exhaust side of Bank 1) ECM
P0023	An open or short in the OCV for exhaust side (for Bank 2) circuit (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in OCV (for exhaust side of Bank 2) circuit OCV (for exhaust side of Bank 2) ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC is designed to detect opens or shorts in the camshaft oil control valve (OCV) circuit. If the OCV duty-cycle is excessively high or low while the engine is running, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

If DTC P0013 is output, check the bank 1 VVT system for exhaust side 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.
If DTC P0023 is output, check the bank 2 VVT system for exhaust side circuit.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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.

PROCEDURE

CHECK DTC (DTC P0013 OR P0023)
1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
2. Clear DTC after recording the freeze frame data and DTC.
3. Turn the engine switch off.
4. Allow the engine to idle and check DTC.
5. Check that P0013 or P0023 is not output.
