DESCRIPTIONRefer to DTC P0010 (See page ).
MONITOR DESCRIPTIONThe ECM optimizes the valve timing by using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake side) and the camshaft timing gear assembly. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake side). This control signal regulates the oil pressure applied to the camshaft timing gear assembly. The camshaft timing gear assembly can advance or retard the intake camshaft. The ECM calibrates the intake valve timing by setting the intake camshaft to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. The ECM closes the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake side) to retard the cam. The ECM stores this value as the VVT learning value. When the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is 5°CA (crankshaft angle) or less, the ECM stores it. If the VVT learning value matches the following conditions, the ECM determines the existence of a malfunction in the VVT system, and stores the DTC.
This DTC indicates that the intake camshaft has been installed toward the crankshaft at an incorrect angle, caused by factors such as the timing chain having jumped a tooth. This monitor begins to run after the engine has idled for 5 minutes. MONITOR STRATEGY

WIRING DIAGRAMRefer to DTC P0010 (See page ). CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINTHINT:
PROCEDURE
(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 DTCs. Result
HINT: If any DTCs other than P0016 or P0018 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
HINT: If the VVT system can be operated through the Active Test, it can be assumed that the VVT system is operating normally. (a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (b) Start the engine. (c) Turn the Techstream on. (d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT Linear (Bank 1) or Control the VVT Linear (Bank 2) / VVT Change Angle #1 or VVT Change Angle #2. (e) Perform the Active Test. Check that the displacement angle varies. OK: Displacement angle varies.
(a) Check for mechanical malfunctions that affect the valve timing, such as a jumped tooth or stretching of the timing chain ( ).
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (b) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (c) Turn the Techstream on. (d) Clear the DTCs (See page ). (e) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds. (f) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on. (g) Start the engine and warm it up. (h) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern. (i) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness. (j) Input the DTC: P0016 or P0018. (k) Check the DTC judgment result. Result
HINT: DTC P0016 or P0018 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
(a) Inspect the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake side) (See page ).
(b) Remove the oil control valve filter RH or oil control valve filter LH. (c) Check that the oil control valve filter and oil pipe are not clogged. OK: The oil control valve filter and oil pipe are not clogged.
(a) Replace the camshaft timing gear assembly (bank 1 or bank 2) (See page ). HINT: Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the camshaft timing gear assembly (See page ).
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (b) Turn the ignition switch to ON. (c) Turn the Techstream on. (d) Clear the DTCs (See page ). (e) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds. (f) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on. (g) Start the engine and warm it up. (h) Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in the Confirmation Driving Pattern. (i) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness. (j) Input the DTC: P0016 or P0018. (k) Check the DTC judgment result. Result
HINT: DTC P0016 or P0018 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
