The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, camshaft timing oil control valve and VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine operating conditions such as the intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature. The ECM controls the camshaft timing oil control valve based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the exhaust camshaft angle using oil pressure through the camshaft timing oil control valve. As a result, the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft are optimized, the engine torque and fuel economy improve, and the exhaust emissions decrease under overall driving conditions. The ECM detects the actual exhaust valve timing using signals from the VVT and crankshaft position sensors and performs feedback control. This is how the target exhaust valve timing is verified by the ECM.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, camshaft timing oil control valve and VVT controller.

The ECM sends a target duty cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.
If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller being stuck and stores a DTC.

Example:

A DTC is stored when the following conditions 1 and 2 are met:

1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA.

2. After the above condition 1 is met, the OCV is forcibly activated 63 times or more (when the vehicle is idling, this takes approximately 100 seconds).

These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Abnormal Bank	Timing Over-advanced (Valve Timing Out of Specified Range)	Timing Over-retarded (Valve Timing Out of Specified Range)
Bank 1	P0014	P0015
Bank 2	P0024	P0025

If DTC P0014 or P0015 is output, check the bank 1 VVT system for the exhaust camshaft circuit.

Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.

If DTC P0024 or P0025 is output, check the bank 2 VVT system for the exhaust camshaft circuit.

Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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.

1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 OR P0025)

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).

Turn the GTS on.

Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

Read DTCs.

Result
Result	Proceed to
P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is output	A
P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 and other DTCs are output	B

HINT:

If any DTCs other than P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Inspect the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly ().

REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY ()

OK

6.INSPECT OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER

Remove the oil control valve filter ().

Check that the filter is not clogged.

OK:
Filter is not clogged.

CLEAN OR REPLACE OIL CONTROL VALVE FILTER

OK

8.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

Perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern.

OK:
No pending DTC is output and All Readiness is NORMAL.

HINT:

DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is stored when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
