MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and VVT controller (camshaft timing 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 intake camshaft.

If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is large, and changes in the actual intake valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

  • Example:

  • A DTC is stored when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:

    1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").

    2. After the above condition "A" is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated 63 times or more (when the vehicle is idling, this takes approximately 60 seconds) (Condition "B").

DTC P0011 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.

DTC P0012 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 2 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.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

    Tip:

    • P0011 is output:

      Clear the DTC not using the GTS.

    • P0012 is output:

      Clear the DTC using the GTS.

  4. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  5. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on [A].

  6. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

  7. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [B].

  8. With the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 75 km/h (46 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds or more [C].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    Tip:

    If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.

  9. Idle the engine for 100 seconds or more [D].

    Tip:

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [F] through [H].

  15. With the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 75 km/h (46 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds or more [F].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    Tip:

    If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.

  16. Idle the engine for 100 seconds or more [G].

    Tip:

    • P0011 is output:

      With the shift lever in P.

    • P0012 is output:

      With the shift lever in D.

  17. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [H].

  18. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tip:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  19. Check the DTC judgment result again.

    Tip:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

P0011

  • DTC P0011 or P0012 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. That 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.
