4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0016: Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)

DTC P0016 - Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)

DTC P0018 - Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 2 Sensor A)

DESCRIPTION

In the VVT system, the appropriate intake and exhaust valve open and close timing is controlled by the ECM. The ECM performs intake and exhaust valve control by performing the following: 1) controlling the camshaft and camshaft oil control valve, and operating the camshaft timing gear; and 2) changing the relative positions of the gaps between the camshaft and crankshaft.






MONITOR DESCRIPTION
- To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learning value while the engine is idling. The VVT learning value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learning value is out of the specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC P0016 (Bank 1) or P0018 (Bank 2).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Read freeze frame data using 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 Freeze Frame Data.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0016 OR P0018)
(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(d) Read the DTCs.
Result:





HINT: If any DTCs other than P0016 or P0018 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B -- GO TO DTC CHART
A -- Continue to next step.
2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OIL CONTROL VALVE FOR INTAKE CAMSHAFT)
(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the tester on.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).
(e) Check the engine speed while operating the oil control valve using the tester.
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 P0016 OR P0018)
(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(d) Start the engine and warm it up.
(e) Switch the check mode using the tester Check Mode Procedure.
(f) Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
(g) Read the DTCs using the tester.
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 covers RH and LH.
(b) Turn the crankshaft to align the timing marks of the crankshaft.
(c) Align the notch of the crankshaft pulley to the "0" position.
(d) Check if the timing marks of the camshaft pulley and camshaft bearing cap align.
(e) Turn the crankshaft clockwise by 360° if the timing marks do not align. Check if they align once again.
OK:
The timing marks of the camshaft pulley and the camshaft bearing cap align when the notch of the crankshaft pulley is in the "0" position.
(f) Reinstall the cylinder head cover RH and LH.
NG -- ADJUST VALVE TIMING
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (FOR INTAKE CAMSHAFT)
(a) Remove the intake camshaft timing oil control valve.





(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:










(c) Apply the positive battery voltage to terminal 1 and the negative battery voltage to terminal 2. Check the valve operation.
OK:
Valve moves quickly.
(d) Reinstall the camshaft timing oil control valve.
NG -- REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.
6. CHECK OIL PIPE AND OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER





(a) Remove the oil pipe No. 1 or No. 2.
(b) Remove the oil control valve filter.
(c) Check that the filter and pipe are not clogged.
OK:
The filter and pipe are not clogged.
(d) Reinstall the oil pipe No. 1 or No. 2.
NG -- REPLACE OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER OR PIPE
OK -- Continue to next step.
7. REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
8. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS
(a) Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(d) Start the engine and warm it up.
(e) Switch the check mode using the tester Check Mode Procedure.
(f) Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
(g) Confirm that no DTC is set using the tester.
OK:
No DTC output.
HINT: DTC P0016 or P0018 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will stay output even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.

NG -- REPLACE ECM
OK -- END
