2GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0011,P0012,P0021,P0022: Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
P0022 - Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)

DESCRIPTION

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, Oil Control Valve (OCV) and VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine operating conditions such as intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature. The ECM controls the OCV, based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As a result, the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft are optimized, the engine torque and fuel economy improve, and the exhaust emissions decrease under overall driving conditions. The ECM detects the actual intake valve timing using signals from the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors, and performs feedback control. This is how the target intake valve timing is verified by the ECM.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

- The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and the VVT controller.

- The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake camshaft.

- If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is large, and changes in the actual intake valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the VVT controller stuck malfunction and sets a DTC.

- Example:

- A DTC is set when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:

- (1) It take 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").

- (2) After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve is forcibly activated 10 seconds (Condition "B").

- DTCs P0011 and P0021 (Advanced Cam Timing) are subject to 1 trip detection logic.

- DTCs P0012 and P0022 (Retarded Cam Timing) are subject to 2 trip detection logic.

- These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to OCV malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the OCV.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) DTC Check / Clear.

- Turn the engine switch off and wait for 30 seconds.

- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on [A].

- Start the ignition and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or more [B].

- Drive the vehicle for 5 minutes or more [C].

- Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [D].

- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes / Pending.

- Read the pending DTC [E].

HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

- Input the DTC: P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022.

- Check the DTC judgment result.





CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps [F] through [H].
- Drive the vehicle for 5 minutes or more [F].

- Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [G].

- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

- Input the DTC: P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022.

- Check the DTC judgment result again [H].

HINT
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
- If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timings is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the VVT actuator.

- Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 5 seconds.

MONITOR RESULT

Refer to Checking Monitor Status Mode 6 Data.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT






- If DTC P0011 or P0012 is displayed, check the bank 1 VVT system for intake side circuit.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes No. 1 cylinder.
- If DTC P0021 or P0022 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system for intake side circuit.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include No. 1 cylinder.
- Read freeze frame data using the 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 Freeze Frame Data.
PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(d) Read DTCs.

Result:





HINT
If any DTCs other than P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B -- GO TO DTC CHART
A -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OCV)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.

(c) On the Techstream, select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).

(d) Check the engine speed while operating the Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the Techstream.

OK:





NG -- CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

(c) Clear DTCs.

(d) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern.

Result:





HINT
DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will stay registered even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
