DTC P0011:00, P0012:00 (PCM, SKYACTIV-G) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Description	Electric variable valve timing control system: P0011:00: Over-advanced P0012:00: Over-retarded
Detection condition	Determination conditions	P0011:00: For the advance amount from the maximum intake valve retard position, a condition in which the actual advance amount is larger than the target value continues for a specified period of time.
	Determination conditions	P0012:00: For the advance amount from the maximum intake valve retard position, a condition in which the actual advance amount is smaller than the target value continues for a specified period of time.
	Preconditions	Battery voltage: above 11 V^1 Engine speed: 5, 000 rpm or less^1 Engine coolant temperature: 20°C {68°F} or more^1 The following DTCs are not detected: P0010:00, P0335:00 and P0340:00 ^1 : Standard can be verified by displaying PIDs using M-MDS
