P001500

Camshaft Position "B" - Timing Over-Retarded Bank 1

Exhaust valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the retard range (1 trip detection logic).

  • Valve timing
  • Cam timing oil control solenoid assembly
  • Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing valve assembly)
  • Camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly
  • ECM

Comes on

SAE Code: P0015

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the exhaust 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 oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing valve assembly) 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 oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing valve assembly) is operated to control the oil pressure supplied to the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly based on this signal. The camshaft timing 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 assembly is forcibly activated for 9.5 seconds.

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

P0014: 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: 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.

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Turn the GTS on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
  7. Turn the GTS on.
  8. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [B].
  9. Drive the vehicle at approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [C].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

  10. Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [D].
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].

    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 [F] through [H].
    • [A] to [E]: 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.

  20. Check the DTC judgment result again.

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

  • DTC P001400 or P001500 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 GTS. 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.
