Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
HINT:
- If DTC P0013 is displayed, check the bank 1 VVT system for exhaust camshaft circuit.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes No. 1 cylinder.
- If DTC P0023 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system for exhaust camshaft circuit.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include No. 1 cylinder.
- Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction (See FREEZE FRAME DATA ).
- CHECK DTC (DTC P0013 OR P0023)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Clear DTC after recording the freeze frame data and DTC.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Allow the engine to idle and check DTC.
- Check that P0013 or P0023 is present.
OK:
P0013 or P0023 is present
NG: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the B43 or B57 OCV connector.
- Remove the OCV.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals of the OCV.
Standard resistance:
6.9 to 7.9 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
- Reconnect the OCV connector.
NG: REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK WIRE HARNESS (OCV - ECM)
- Disconnect the B43 or B57 OCV connector.
- Disconnect the B30 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance.
Standard resistance
