DTC P0010: Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1); DTC P0020: Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 2) [09/2014 - ]: Description

The electric VVT changes the valve timing using a motor. In comparison to a conventional hydraulic VVT, the valve timing range is greater and the VVT operates even when the engine speed is low or the engine is cold. As a result, it is possible to increase engine output and mileage.

The camshaft timing control motor is equipped with a self diagnostic function, which is used to output diagnosis signals (VTM) to the ECM.

Part and Terminal Name Function
Camshaft timing control motor Through its electric motor, operates camshaft timing gear assembly. Interior driver (EDU) detects and performs malfunction diagnosis of motor control, motor speed and rotation direction.
Camshaft timing gear assembly Changes valve timing by rotating timing chain sprocket.
ECM Outputs target speed and motor rotation direction in response to driving conditions.
+B Power supply (when engine switch on (IG), 12 V or higher)
PGND Power supply ground
VTP Inputs motor activation signal from ECM.
VTS Outputs actual motor speed.
VTD Outputs actual rotation direction.
VTM Outputs malfunction diagnosis results as a duty ratio.
  • Open circuit in VTP and VTM
  • Normal
  • Internal malfunction in driver
  • Malfunction in motor rotation sensor of driver

SYMPTOMS AND FAIL-SAFE OPERATION DURING CAMSHAFT CONTROL MOTOR MALFUNCTION

Vehicle Condition Fail-Safe
  • Deterioration of driving performance as result of engine combustion degradation
  • Engine output deficiency
  • Power to camshaft timing control motor is cut
  • Valve timing of bank that is operating normally is fixed at maximum retard angle
