DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Suspected Area
P0011/59

Advanced cam timing:

After engine is warmed up, valve timing does not change from current valve timing while driving at engine speed of 500 to 4,000 rpm (1 trip detection logic)

  • Valve timing

  • OCV

  • Camshaft timing gear assembly

  • ECM
P0012/59

Retarded cam timing:

After engine is warmed up, valve timing does not change from current valve timing while driving at engine speed of 500 to 4,000 rpm (2 trip detection logic)

  • Valve timing

  • OCV

  • Camshaft timing gear assembly

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the VVT system to control the intake valve camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, OCV and VVT actuator. The ECM sends a target "duty-cycle" control signal to the OCV. This control signal, applied to the OCV, regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake valve camshaft.

Example:

A DTC will set if: 1) the difference between the target and actual valve timing is more than 5° of the Crankshaft Angle (CA) and the condition continues for more than 4.5 seconds; or 2) the OCV is forcibly activated 63 times or more.

DTC P0011/59 (advanced cam timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.

DTC P0012/59 (retarded cam timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.

Retarded timing over

(valve timing is out of specified range)

 P0012/59

  • If DTC P0011/59 or P0012/59 is present, check the VVT system circuit.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.

Note

DTC P0011/59 or P0012/59 is output when a foreign object in the engine oil enters the system. These codes will stay even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Foreign objects are filtered out by the oil filter.

When using intelligent tester:
