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:
Read freeze frame data using Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OCV)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
- Warm up the engine.
- On the tester, select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1).
- Check the engine speed while operating the Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the tester.
OK
TESTER OPERATIONS AND SPECIFIED CONDITIONSTester Operations Specified Conditions 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 B17 OCV connector.
- 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 HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OCV - ECM)
- Disconnect the B17 OCV connector.
- Disconnect the B30 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance (check for open)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connections Specified Conditions B17-1 (OC1+) B30-100 (OC1+) Below 1 Ω B17-2 (OC1 -) - B30-123 (OC1 -) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (check for short)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connections Specified Conditions B17-1 (OC1+) or B30-100 (OC1+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher B17-2 (OC1-) or B30-123 (OC1-) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the OCV connector.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE ECM
