4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0365, P0367, P0368, P0390, P0392, P0393: Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit (Bank 1)


DESCRIPTION

The VVT sensor (for exhaust camshaft) (EV1, EV2 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistance Element).

The exhaust camshaft has a timing rotor for the VVT sensor. When the exhaust camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor converts the exhaust camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM.

Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection duration, fuel injection timing and the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system.





- Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope





HINT
- The correct waveform is as shown.
- EV1+ and EV2+ stand for the VVT sensor for exhaust camshaft signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If no signal is transmitted by the VVT sensor despite the engine revolving, or the rotations of the camshaft and crankshaft are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE





CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

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

6. Start the engine.

7. Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].

8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

9. Read the pending DTC [B].

HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

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

11. Input the DTC: P0365, P0367, P0368, P0390, P0392 or P0393.

12. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

13. If no DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the 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 Freeze Frame Data.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE

(a) Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.





(1) While the engine is idling, check the waveform between the terminals of the ECM connector.

Standard:





OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal
NG -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SENSOR POWER SOURCE)

(a) Disconnect the E25 or E34 VVT sensor connector.

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

Standard voltage:





(c) Reconnect the VVT sensor connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VVT SENSOR - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the E25 or E34 VVT sensor connector.

(b) Disconnect the E5 or E6 ECM connector.

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

Standard resistance (Check for open):





Standard resistance (Check for short):





(d) Reconnect the VVT sensor connector.

(e) Reconnect the ECM connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (VVT SENSOR FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT)

(a) Check the VVT sensor installation.





OK:

Sensor is installed correctly.

NG -- SECURELY REINSTALL VVT SENSOR FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT Installation
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT EXHAUST CAMSHAFT

(a) Check the timing rotor of the exhaust camshaft.

OK:

Camshaft timing rotor does not have any cracks or deformation.

NG -- REPLACE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE TIMING CHAIN AND JUMPED TEETH) P0011

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

7. REPLACE VVT SENSOR (FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT)

(a) Replace the VVT sensor for exhaust camshaft Removal.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

8. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0365, P0367, P0368, P0370, P0392 OR P0393)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

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