2GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0014, P0015, P0024, P0025: Camshaft Position "B" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)


DESCRIPTION

HINT
If DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is present, check the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system.

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, OCV and 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. Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine operating conditions such as the intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature. The ECM controls the OCV, based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the exhaust camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As a result, the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft are optimized, the engine torque and fuel economy improve, and the exhaust emissions decrease under overall driving conditions. The ECM detects the actual exhaust valve timing using signals from the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors, and performs feedback control. This is how the target intake valve timing is verified by the ECM.









MONITOR DESCRIPTION

1. The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and the VVT controller.

2. 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 exhaust camshaft.

If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timings is large, and changes in actual exhaust 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 "A" and "B" are met:

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

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

3. DTCs P0014 and P0024 (Advanced Cam Timing) are detected with 2 trip detection logic.

4. DTCs P0015 and P0025 (Retarded Cam Timing) are detected with 1 trip detection logic.

These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to OCV malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the OCV.

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

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

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

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

HINT
* If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
* If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

20. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear (to 12/2010).

HINT
* If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT






* If DTC P0014 or P0015 is displayed, check the exhaust camshaft circuit for the bank 1 VVT system.
* Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
* If DTC P0024 or P0025 is displayed, check the exhaust camshaft circuit for the bank 2 VVT system.
* Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include cylinder No. 1.
* 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.

HINT
DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 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, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
