A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: P001313; Camshaft Position "B" - Actuator Bank 1 Circuit Open; 2018 MY Camry [03/2017

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system (for exhaust side) adjusts the exhaust valve timing to improve driveability. The engine oil pressure turns the VVT controller (camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly) to adjust the valve timing.

The cam timing oil control solenoid assembly operates according to signals received from the ECM to control the position of the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing gear bolt assembly) and supply engine oil. The camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing gear bolt assembly) moves when the ECM applies 12 V to the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly. The ECM changes the energizing time of the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly (duty-cycle) in accordance with the camshaft position, crankshaft position, throttle position, etc.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC is designed to detect an open or short in the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly circuit. If the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly duty-cycle is excessively high or low while the ignition switch is ON or the engine is running, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Start the engine [A].
Wait 5 seconds or more [B].
Turn the Techstream on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P001313.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Techstream Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

HINT:

If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [A] through [C] again.
[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / 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 help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
