DESCRIPTION

Variable oil pump control uses the oil pressure control valve assembly, engine oil temperature sensor, oil pressure sensor and ECM to optimize the oil pressure and oil volume required by each component to reduce friction by monitoring the engine temperature and engine speed.

The ECM drives the oil pressure control valve assembly based on the oil pressure measured by the oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure is controlled by operating the oil pressure control valve assembly to regulate the amount of discharge oil.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

P052477, P15F009, P15F077 and P15F177:

The ECM monitors the oil pressure based on the signal output from the oil pressure sensor. If it is judged that the actual oil pressure generated by the oil pump assembly is less than the target oil pressure, oil pressure control using the oil pressure control valve assembly is suspended. After a certain period of time has elapsed, if it is judged that the actual oil pressure is low in comparison to the target oil pressure, it is determined that the oil pressure is low and a DTC is stored.

P15F109:

The ECM monitors the oil pressure based on the signal output from the oil pressure sensor. If the oil pressure is less than specified when the piston oil jets are spraying oil (engine speed is 3000 rpm or more), a DTC is stored.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

    Click here 2018 - 2021 MY Camry HV [07/2017 - 08/2021]; A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

    Click here 2018 - 2021 MY Camry HV [07/2017 - 08/2021]; A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the power switch on (IG).
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

    Click here 2018 - 2024 MY Camry HV [07/2017 -        ]; INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE

  9. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher with all the accessories switched off [A].
  10. When the vehicle is stationery, gradually depress the accelerator pedal to increase the engine speed to 2500 rpm over a 30 second period, run the engine speed at 2500 rpm for 1 minute, then release the accelerator pedal to return to the idling speed [B].

    HINT:

    During charge control, the engine speed is set at idle. Therefore, the engine speed does not increase when depressing the accelerator pedal. In this case, perform steps [B] after charge control has completed.

  11. Repeat step [B] 3 times or more [C].
  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
  13. 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.
  14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  15. Input the DTC: P052477, P15F009, P15F077, P15F109 or P15F177.
  16. Check the DTC judgment result.

    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 is malfunctioning.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] through [D] again.
    • [A] to [D]: 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 auxiliary 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

NOTICE:

  • Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

HINT:

  • When DTC P052477 is stored, it is determined that the engine oil pressure is low (severe) and the maximum engine speed is limited.
  • When DTC P15F009 is stored, it is determined that the engine oil pressure is low (moderate) and the maximum engine speed is limited.
  • When DTC P15F077 is stored, it is determined that the engine oil pressure is low (minor) and the maximum engine speed is limited.
  • If the engine oil level is sufficient but a low engine oil level DTC is output, confirm with the customer whether engine oil was added after the vehicle had been driven with a low engine oil level.
  • A DTC may be stored if the engine oil in the oil passages was contaminated with foreign matter, etc., in the past, as the ECM performs compulsory control of the oil pressure control valve assembly to remove foreign matter from the oil pressure control valve assembly.
  • If an incorrect engine oil viscosity is used, a DTC related to low oil pressure, etc., may be stored.
  • 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.
