When not using the SST (WDS or equivalent)
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Disconnect the OCV connector.
- Start the engine and idle it.
- When applying battery positive voltage between the oil control valve terminals, verify if the engine rough idles or stalls.
- If it idles roughly or stalls, verify the timing chain assembly (valve timing).
- If it does not idle roughly or stall, perform the following inspection.
NOTE:
- When applying battery positive voltage between the oil control valve terminals, the connection of the positive and negative cables can be either terminal A or B.
- Inspect OCV operation.
- Inspect the harnesses and connectors between the OCV and PCM for a disconnection and short circuit.
- Inspect the hydraulic passage for leakage.
Hydraulic passage
Between the oil pressure switch and the OCV
Between the OCV and the camshaft
Oil passage inside the camshaft
- If the inspected parts are normal, replace the variable valve timing actuator.
