INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0016 OR P0018)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / DTC.

    4. Read the DTCs.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC P0016 or P0018 is output A
      DTC P0016 or P0018 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

      If any DTCs other than P0016 or P0018 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine and turn the tester on.

    3. Warm up the engine.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT system (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).

    5. Check the engine speed while operating the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly using the tester.

      OK
      Tester Operation Specified Condition
      Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly OFF Normal engine idle speed
      Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly ON

      Engine idles roughly or stalls

      (soon after camshaft timing oil control valve assembly switched from OFF to ON)

    OK

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (P0016 OR P0018)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.

    3. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up.

    5. Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the tester Click here.

    6. Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.

    7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / DTC.

    8. Read the DTCs.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC P0016 or P0018 is output B

      Tech Tips

      DTC P0016 or P0018 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.

  4. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE OR JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)


    1. A01CCYYE02

      Remove the cylinder head covers RH and LH.

    2. Turn the crankshaft to align the timing marks of the crankshaft.

    3. Align the notch of the crankshaft pulley to the "0" position.

    4. Check if the timing marks of the camshaft pulley and camshaft bearing cap align.

    5. Turn the crankshaft clockwise 360° if the timing marks do not align. Check if they align once again.

      OK
      The timing marks of the camshaft pulley and the camshaft bearing cap align when the notch of the crankshaft pulley is in the "0" position.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 6.9 to 7.9 Ω
    3. A01CG4KE05

      Connect the positive battery terminal to terminal 1 and connect the negative terminal to terminal 2. Check the valve operation.

      OK
      Valve moves quickly.

    4. Reinstall the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.
