Troubleshooting

DTC P0010 Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detecting Condition:

VVT system controls the intake valve timing to proper timing in response to driving condition. ECM controls Oil Control Valve (OCV) to make the intake valve timing properly, and, oil pressure controlled with OCV is supplied to the VVT controller, and then, VVT controller changes relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Monitor Strategy:

Typical Enabling Condition:

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

Component Operating Range:

After the ECM sends the "target" duty-cycle signal to the OCV, the ECM monitors the OCV current to establish an "actual" duty-cycle. When the actual duty-cycle ratio varies from the target duty cycle ratio, the ECM sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
- If DTC P0010 displayed, check right bank OCV circuit.
- If DTC P0020 displayed, check left bank OCV circuit.
- Read freeze frame data using OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester. Because freeze frame records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

Step 1 - 2:

Step 3 - 4:

Hand-held tester

Step 1 - 2:

Step 3:

OBD II scan tool (excluding hand-held tester)

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

Hand-held tester only:
Inspect the vehicle's ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect when the ECM is in check mode with hand-held tester. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.

a. Clear the DTCs.
b. Set the check mode.
c. Perform a simulation test.
d. Check the connector and terminal.
e. Wiggle the harness and connector.
