MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, cam timing oil control solenoid assembly, camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve assembly [for exhaust camshaft]) and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly. The camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve assembly [for exhaust camshaft]) is operated to control the oil pressure supplied to the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly based on this signal. The camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.

If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in the actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

  • Example:
  • A DTC is stored when the following conditions are met:
    1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA.
    2. After the above condition is met, the cam timing oil control solenoid is forcibly activated for 9.5 seconds.

DTC P001400 and P002400 (Advanced Camshaft Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.

DTC P001500 and P002500 (Retarded Camshaft Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.

These DTCs indicate that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly cannot operate properly due to a camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve assembly [for exhaust camshaft]) malfunction or the presence of foreign matter in the camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve assembly [for exhaust camshaft]).

P0014 and P0024: Advanced Camshaft Timing

Both of the following conditions are met

-

Deviation of actual valve timing and target valve timing

More than 5°CA (Crankshaft Angle) for 5 seconds or more after the VVT hold duty ratio learned value reaches the upper or lower limit.

Valve timing

No change at advanced valve timing

P0015 and P0025: Retarded Camshaft Timing

Both of the following conditions are met

-

Deviation of actual valve timing and target valve timing

More than 5°CA (Crankshaft Angle) for 5 seconds or more after the VVT hold duty ratio learned value reaches the upper or lower limit.

Valve timing

No change at retarded valve timing

If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timing is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the VVT actuator for 10 seconds by applying and releasing oil pressure. Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 10 seconds.

  • DTC P001400, P001500, P002400 or P002500 may be stored when foreign matter in the engine oil is caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. This foreign matter may then be captured by the oil filter.
  • 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.
