Lack of Power or Hesitation |
DESCRIPTION
The VALVEMATIC system is able to continuously change the valve lift amount and valve timing. For engines equipped with a VALVEMATIC system, when a part such as a rocker arm in the camshaft housing has mechanical problems, the valve lift amount does not change and problems occur, such as a lack of engine power or rough idling.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
A lack of engine power occurs when the throttle valve is malfunctioning or when there is a clog in the intake or exhaust system. Therefore, during the inspection, confirm that there are no clogs in any parts.
HINT:
- If the throttle valve is malfunctioning, even if the accelerator pedal is fully depressed when the engine is running, the throttle does not fully open.
- If there is a clog in the intake system, even if the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, value for MAP in the Data List is not the same as the atmospheric pressure.
When performing this inspection on a vehicle equipped with VALVEMATIC, perform the following procedures first in order to confirm that there are no VVT system malfunctions.
- Perform VVT system Active Test and confirm that the VVT follows the VVT target.
- If the VVT system Active Test results are normal, perform VALVEMATIC system Active Test.
NOTICE:
When the vehicle is not equipped with VALVEMATIC, even if the VVT system inspection (the inspection that checks if idling becomes unstable when changing the VVT to the most advanced and retarded positions through the Active Test) is performed, it cannot be determined that the malfunction is in the VVT system.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (ACTIVATE THE VALVEMATIC (ENG ON)) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature stabilizes. (Engine coolant temperature 40°C or higher)
(c) Turn the ignition switch off.
(d) Restart the engine.
HINT:
Do not operate the accelerator pedal.
(e) Turn the Techstream on.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VALVEMATIC(ENG ON) / Data List / MAP, Coolant Temp, VALVEMATIC Target Angle, VALVEMATIC Current Angle, VALVEMATIC bef Warm Up.

(g) Check the Data List "VALVEMATIC bef Warm Up" display is "ON".
HINT:
If "VALVEMATIC bef Warm Up" is not "ON".
- Restart the engine. (Do not operate the accelerator pedal.)
- Perform the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC before Warm Up" to set "VALVEMATIC bef Warm Up" to "ON". (Do not operate the accelerator pedal.)
(h) Set the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC(ENG ON)" to "High" and check that "VALVEMATIC Current Angle" follows "VALVEMATIC Target Angle" and the "MAP" value changes.
Standard:
|
Techstream Operation |
Result |
|---|---|
|
High |
VALVEMATIC Current Angle: 260 deg(CA) MAP: 25 to 40 kPa (3.6 to 5.8 psi) |
(i) Set the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC(ENG ON)" to "OFF", and check that "VALVEMATIC bef Warm Up" returns to "ON".
(j) Set the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC(ENG ON)" to "Low" and check that "VALVEMATIC Current Angle" follows "VALVEMATIC Target Angle" and the "MAP" value changes.
Standard:
|
Techstream Operation |
Result |
|---|---|
|
Low |
VALVEMATIC Current Angle: 106 deg(CA) MAP: 35 to 65 kPa (5.1 to 9.4 psi) |
OK:
When performing the Active Test, "VALVEMATIC Current Angle" follows "VALVEMATIC Target Angle" and the "MAP" value changes.
HINT:
- After the accelerator pedal is depressed and the Active Test operates once to "Low", "VALVEMATIC bef Warm Up" does not return to "ON". Therefore, in order to repeat the inspection, it is necessary to either perform the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC before Warm Up" to set the VALVEMATIC system to the operating position that occurs before the engine is warmed up, or restart the engine.
- When the vehicle is driven while there is a malfunction in the VALVEMATIC system and the valve lift amount is fixed at the minimum, the vehicle speed cannot exceed 30 to 60 km/h (19 to 37 mph).
- If the intake valve advance angle is within the VALVEMATIC operation prohibition range depending on the operating state of the VVT system, the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC(ENG ON)" is prohibited. If the advance angle cannot be detected due to a malfunction in the VVT system, the Active Test "Activate the VALVEMATIC(ENG ON)" is prohibited.
