Description

The ECM optimizes the valve timing by using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and the camshaft timing gear assembly. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.
This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the camshaft timing gear assembly. The camshaft timing gear assembly can advance or retard the intake camshaft.

DTC No. Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0016 Deviation in crankshaft position sensor signal and camshaft position sensor signal (2 trip detection logic).

  2. Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly
  3. Oil control valve filter
  4. Camshaft timing gear assembly
  5. ECM

Monitor description

To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learning value while the engine is idling. The VVT learning value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learning value is out of specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC P0016.
This DTC indicates that the intake camshaft has been installed toward the crankshaft at an incorrect angle, caused by factors such as the timing chain having jumped a tooth.
This monitor begins to run after the engine has idled for 5 minutes.

    1. If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    2. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    3. If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps [E] through [G].
  14. Drive the vehicle at 75 km/h (47 mph) for 2 to 3 minutes [E].

    CAUTION:

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

  15. Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [F].
  16. Check the DTC judgment result [G].

    HINT:

    1. If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    2. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

Inspection procedure

HINT:

  1. DTC P0016 may be set when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain set even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Foreign objects are filtered out by the oil filter.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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.

1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0016)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
