Inspection Procedure

HINT:

TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

Abnormal Bank Advanced Timing Over (Valve Timing is out of Specified Range) Retarded Timing Over (Valve Timing is out of Specified Range)
Bank 1 P0011 P0012
Bank 2 P0021 P0022
  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester ON.
    3. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
    4. Read the DTCs.

    Result 

    RESULT REFERENCE

    Display (DTC Output) Proceed to
    P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 A
    POOH, P0012, P0021 or P0022 and other DTCs B

    HINT:

    If any DTCs other than P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

    B: GO TO  DTC CHART  

    A: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (OPERATE OCV) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester ON.
    3. Put the engine in inspection mode (See INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE ).
    4. Warm up the engine.
    5. On the tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT CTRL B1 or VVT CTRL B2.
    6. Check the engine speed while operating the Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the tester.

    OK 

    TESTER OPERATION AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

    Tester Operation Specified Condition
    OCV OFF Normal engine speed
    OCV ON Engine idles roughly or stalls (soon after OCV switched from OFF to ON)

    NG: GO TO step   4 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester ON.
    3. Clear the DTCs.
    4. Start the engine and warm it up.
    5. Switch the ECM (Included in HV control ECU) from normal mode to check mode using the tester.
    6. Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
    7. Read the DTCs using the tester.

    OK: No DTC output. 

    NG: GO TO step 4 

    OK: END 

  4. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING BELT) 
    1. Remove the cylinder head covers RH and LH.
    2. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing mark "0" of the timing belt cover.
    3. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing gears are aligned with the timing marks of the No. 3 timing belt cover as shown in the illustration.

      If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°), then align the marks as above.

      OK: The timing marks on the camshaft timing gears are aligned as shown in the illustration. 

    4. Reinstall the cylinder head cover.

    NG: ADJUST VALVE TIMING

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (OCV) 
    1. Remove the OCV.
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the OCV.

      Standard resistance: 

      6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

    3. Apply positive battery voltage to terminal 1 and the negative battery voltage to terminal 2. Check the valve operation.

      OK: Valve moves quickly. 

    4. Reinstall the OCV.

    NG: REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. INSPECT OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER 
    1. Remove the oil control valve filter.

    OK: The filter is not clogged. 

    NG: CLEAN OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY 
  8. READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK IF DTC OUTPUT RECURS) 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester ON.
    3. Clear the DTCs.
    4. Start the engine and warm up.
    5. Switch the ECM (Included in HV control ECU) from normal mode to the check mode using the tester.
    6. Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
    7. Read the output DTCs using the intelligent tester.

      Standard: No DTC output. 

      HINT:

      DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will stay registered even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.

    OK: SYSTEM OK 

    NG: REPLACE HV CONTROL ECU
