P0020





1UR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0010, P0020: Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)
P0020 - Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 2)

DESCRIPTION

The VVT-iE system changes the valve timing with the motor.

The camshaft control timing motor is equipped with a self diagnostic function, which is used to output diagnosis signals (VTM) to the ECM.









CAMSHAFT CONTROL MOTOR SYMPTOMS AND FAIL-SAFE DURING MALFUNCTION









MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC is output when an IC overheat malfunction or an overcurrent malfunction is detected in the intake side camshaft timing control motor. The camshaft timing control motor is equipped with a self diagnostic function, which is used to output diagnosis signals (VTM) to the ECM. If the ECM receives a motor driver interior malfunction signal, a DTC is output immediately (1 trip detection logic). If the engine is idled for 10 seconds, a DTC is detected.

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 [A].

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

7. Wait 10 seconds [C].

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

9. Read the DTCs [D].

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

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

11. Input the DTC: P0010 or P0020.

12. Check the DTC judgment result.





13. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and 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
- Read freeze frame data using the 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.
- 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.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY (BANK 1 OR BANK 2)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Remove the camshaft timing control motor Removal.

(c) Check if the camshaft timing gear assembly's eccentric shaft rotates smoothly.





OK:

Rotates smoothly

NG -- REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY (BANK 1 OR BANK 2) Disassembly

OK -- REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING CONTROL MOTOR (BANK 1 OR BANK 2) Removal
