P0014





2AR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0014,P0015: Camshaft Position "B" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)


DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0013 P0013.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and the VVT controller (camshaft timing gear assembly). The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.

If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in the actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

- Example:

- A DTC is set when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:

a. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").

b. After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated 10 seconds (Condition "B").

- DTC P0014 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.

- DTC P0015 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.

- These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

- 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.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON 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.

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON 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 higher [B].

7. Drive the vehicle for 5 minutes or more [C].

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

8. Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [D].

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

10. Input the DTC: P0014 or P0015.

11. Check the DTC judgment result [E].





HINT
* If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
* If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps [F] through [H].

12. Drive the vehicle for 5 minutes or more [F].

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

13. Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [G].

14. Check the DTC judgment result again [H].

15. If the test result is UNKNOWN, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes / Pending.

16. Read Pending DTCs [H].

HINT
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

17. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending 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.

MONITOR RESULT

Refer to Checking Monitor Status Mode 6 Data.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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 P0014 OR P0015)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(e) Read the DTCs.

Result:





HINT
If any DTCs other than P0014 or P0015 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

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

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Turn the A/C switch on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 1).

(f) Check the engine speed while operating the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft) using the Techstream.

Result:





HINT
If the result is not acceptable, cool the engine and perform the Active Test again.

(g) Start the engine when the engine coolant temperature is 30°C (86°F) or less.

(h) Turn the Techstream on.

(i) Turn the A/C switch on.

(j) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 1).

(k) Check the engine speed while operating the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft) using the Techstream when the engine coolant temperature is 50°C (122°F) or less.

Result:
