DTC P0011 CAMSHAFT POSITION "A" -TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE (BANK 1)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

The Variable Valve Timing (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, applied to the OCV, regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed based on engine operation conditions such as intake air volume, throttle position and engine coolant temperature.
The ECM controls the OCV based on the signals output from several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft is optimized, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, and exhaust emissions decrease. The ECM detects the actual valve timing using signals from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM performs feedback control and verifies target valve timing.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Monitor Strategy:

Typical Enabling Conditions:

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake valve 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, applied to the OCV, regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake valve camshaft.

Example: A DTC will set if: 1) the difference between the target and actual valve timing is more than 5 degrees of the camshaft angle (CA) and this condition continues for more than 4.5 seconds; or 2) the OCV is forcibly activated 63 times or more. Advanced cam DTCs are subject to "1 trip" detection logic. Retarded cam DTCs are subject to "2 trip" detection logic.

If the difference between "target" and "actual"camshaft timing is larger than the specified value, the ECM operates the VVT actuator. Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 5 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE






HINT:
- If DTC P0011 or P0012 is displayed, check the right bank VVT system.
- If DTC P0021 or P0022 is displayed, check the left bank VVT system.
- Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.
