4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0016,P0018: Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
P0018 - Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 2 Sensor A)

DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0010 P0010.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

- To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learning value while the engine is idling. The VVT learning value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learning value is out of the specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC P0016 (Bank 1) or P0018 (Bank 2).

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

- Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [C].

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

- Read the pending DTC [D].

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: P0016 or P0018.

- Check the DTC judgment result.





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 [E] through [G].
- Drive the vehicle for 2 to 3 minutes [E].

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

- Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [F].

- Check the DTC judgment result [G].

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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
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 Freeze Frame Data.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0016 OR P0018)

(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

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

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

(d) Read the DTCs.

Result:





HINT
If any DTCs other than P0016 or P0018 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

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

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OIL CONTROL VALVE FOR INTAKE CAMSHAFT)

(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.

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

(c) Warm up the engine.

(d) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).

(e) Check the engine speed while operating the oil control valve using the tester.

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 P0016 OR P0018)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

(e) Turn the engine switch off and wait for 30 seconds.

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

(g) Start the engine and warm it up.

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

(i) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

(j) Input the DTC: P0016 or P0018.

(k) Check the DTC judgment result.

Result:





HINT
DTC P0016 or P0018 may be stored when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain set even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Those foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter.

B -- CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)

A -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

4. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)

(a) Remove the cylinder head covers RH and LH.





(b) Turn the crankshaft to align the timing marks of the crankshaft.

(c) Align the notch of the crankshaft pulley to the "0" position.

(d) Check if the timing marks of the camshaft pulley and camshaft bearing cap align.

(e) Turn the crankshaft clockwise by 360° if the timing marks do not align. Check if they align once again.

OK:

The timing marks of the camshaft pulley and the camshaft bearing cap align when the notch of the crankshaft pulley is in the "0" position.

(f) Reinstall the cylinder head cover RH and LH.

NG -- ADJUST VALVE TIMING
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (FOR INTAKE CAMSHAFT)

(a) Remove the intake camshaft timing oil control valve.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.





Standard resistance:





(c) Apply the positive battery voltage to terminal 1 and the negative battery voltage to terminal 2. Check the valve operation.

NG -- REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK OIL PIPE AND OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER

(a) Remove the oil pipe No. 1 or No. 2.





(b) Remove the oil control valve filter.

(c) Check that the filter and pipe are not clogged.

OK:
