Description

The exhaust camshaft's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor (G signal) consists of a magnet and MRE element. The exhaust camshaft has a sensor plate with 3 teeth on its outer circumference. When the exhaust camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the 3 teeth and pickup coil, which affects the magnet. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor converts the exhaust camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, and uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, which it sends to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing. The crankshaft angle sensor plate has 34 teeth. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each engine revolution. Based the G signal and actual crankshaft angle, the ECM detects the normal crankshaft angle. Also, based on the NE signal, the ECM detects the engine speed.

Inspection procedure

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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 ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE

1. Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.

1. While the engine is idling, check the waveform between the terminals of the ECM connector.

Standard:

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
EV1+ (E5-19) - EV1- (E5-18)	Correct waveform shown
EV2+ (E6-13) - EV2- (E6-12)	Correct waveform shown
NE+ (E3-32) - NE- (E3-31)	Correct waveform shown

OK	REPLACE ECM

NG

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SENSOR POWER SOURCE)

1. Disconnect the E25 or E34 VVT sensor connector.

2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

Standard voltage:

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
VC2 (E25-3) - Body ground	4.5 to 5.0 V
VC2 (E34-3) - Body ground	4.5 to 5.0 V

3. Reconnect the VVT sensor connector.

NG	REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

3.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VVT SENSOR - ECM)

1. Disconnect the E25 or E34 VVT sensor connector.

2. Disconnect the E5 or E6 ECM connector.

3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

Standard resistance (Check for open):

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
EX+ (E25-1) - EV1+ (E5-19)	Below 1 ?
EX- (E25-2) - EV1- (E5-18)	Below 1 ?
EX+ (E34-1) - EV2+ (E6-13)	Below 1 ?
EX- (E34-2) - EV2- (E6-12)	Below 1 ?

Standard resistance (Check for short):

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
EX+ (E25-1) or EV1+ (E5-19) - Body ground	10 k? or higher
EX- (E25-2) or EV1- (E5-18) - Body ground	10 k? or higher
EX+ (E34-1) or EV2+ (E6-13) - Body ground	10 k? or higher
EX- (E34-2) or EV2- (E6-12) - Body ground	10 k? or higher

4. Reconnect the VVT sensor connector.

5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

NG	REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

4.CHECK VVT SENSOR FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT (SENSOR INSTALLATION)

1. Check the VVT sensor installation.

   OK:

   Sensor is installed correctly.

NG	REPAIR OR REPLACE VVT SENSOR

OK

5.CHECK EXHAUST CAMSHAFT

1. Check the teeth of the camshaft.

NG	REPLACE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT

OK
REPLACE VVT SENSOR
