P0011
2AZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0011,P0012: Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
P0012 - Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0010 P0010.
HINT
If DTC P0011 or P0012 is present, check the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the 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 timings is large, and changes in 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 1 and 2 are met:
- 1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA.
- 2. After above conditions are met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated for 10 seconds.
- DTC P0011 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.
- DTC P0012 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.
- These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunction or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve.
- The monitor will run if all of the following conditions are met:
- The engine is warm (the engine coolant temperature is 75°C [167°F] or more).
- The vehicle has been driven at more than 40 mph (64 km/h) for 3 minutes.
- The engine has idled for 3 minutes.

Advanced camshaft timing:
Advanced camshaft timing::
Retarded camshaft timing:
Retarded camshaft timing::
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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
DTC P0011 or P0012 may be set 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. Foreign objects are filtered out by the oil filter.
HINT
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.
PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0011 OR P0012)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the Techstream on.
(c) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(d) Read the DTCs.
Result:
HINT
If any DTCs other than P0011 or P0012 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B -- GO TO DTC CHART Engine Control System - SFI System
A -- Continue to next step.
2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST (OPERATE OCV)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) On the Techstream, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1).
(e) 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 OR P0012)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the Techstream on.
(c) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(d) Start the engine and warm it up.
(e) Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending.
(g) Read the DTCs.
OK:
No DTC output.
NG -- CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)
OK -- END
4. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)
(a) Remove the cylinder head cover Disassembly.
(b) Turn the crankshaft pulley until its groove and the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover are aligned.
(c) Check that each timing mark of the camshaft timing gears is aligned with its corresponding timing mark located on the No. 1 and No. 2 bearing caps as shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft by 1 revolution (360°) to align the timing marks as above.
OK:
The timing marks of the camshaft timing gears are aligned with the timing marks located on the No. 1 and No. 2 bearing caps.
(e) Reinstall the cylinder head cover.
NG -- ADJUST VALVE TIMING Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (OCV)
(a) Remove the OCV.
(b) Measure the resistance between the terminals of the OCV.
Standard resistance:
6.9 to 7.9 Ohms at 20°C (68°F)
(c) Apply the positive battery voltage to terminal 1 and negative battery voltage to terminal 2. Check the valve operation.
OK:
The valve moves quickly.
(d) Reinstall the OCV.
NG -- REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY Removal
