WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Lexus IS 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (OCV)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine and turn the tester on.
- Warm up the engine.
- On the tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).
- Check the engine speed while operating the Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the tester.
OK
Tester Operation Specified Condition OCV OFF Normal engine speed OCV ON Engine idles roughly or stalls (soon after OCV switched from OFF to ON)
OK → CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
NG: Go to next step
- INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the OCV connector.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals of the OCV.
Standard resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 6.9 to 7.9 Ω - Reconnect the OCV connector.
NG → REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - OCV)
- Disconnect the OCV connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (check for open)
Tester Connection Specified Condition OC1+ (E3-34) - E18-1 Below 1 Ω OC1- (E3-33) - E18-2 Below 1 Ω OC2+ (E5-9) - E11-1 Below 1 Ω OC2- (E5-8) - E11-2 Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (check for short)
Tester Connection Specified Condition OC1+ (E3-34) or E18-1 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher OC1- (E3-33) or E18-2 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher OC2+ (E5-9) or E11-1 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher OC2- (E5-8) or E11-2 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the OCV connector.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → REPLACE ECM
