Description
The intake camshaft Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor (VV1, 2 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magnetic Resistance Element). The intake camshaft has 3 teeth on its outer circumference. When the intake camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the teeth and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor converts the intake camshaft rotation data into pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM. The crankshaft position sensor plate has 34 teeth. The crankshaft position sensor generates 34 signals for each revolution. Based on a combination of the VVT signal and NE signal, the ECM detects the crankshaft angle. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing. Also, based on the NE signal, the ECM detects the engine speed.
DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0340 P0345 | When either condition below is met:
|
|
P0342 P0347 | The output voltage of the VVT sensor (for intake side of Bank 1, 2) is below 0.3 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |
|
P0343 P0348 | The output voltage of the VVT sensor (for intake side of Bank 1, 2) is higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope
Standard:
Tester Connection Tool Setting Condition Specified Condition C45-110 (NE+) - C45-111 (NE-) 5 V/DIV. 20 msec./DIV. Cranking or idling The correct waveform is as shown C45-92 (VV1+) - C45-91 (VV1-) 5 V/DIV. 20 msec./DIV. Cranking or idling The correct waveform is as shown C45-87 (VV2+) - C45-88 (VV2-) 5 V/DIV. 20 msec./DIV. Cranking or idling The correct waveform is as shown HINT:
VV1+ and VV2+ stand for the VVT sensor (for intake side) signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.
Monitor description
If no signal is transmitted by the VVT sensor despite the engine revolving, or the rotations of the camshaft and the crankshaft are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.
Wiring diagram

Inspection procedure
HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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.
- 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.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SENSOR POWER SOURCE) |
-
Disconnect the C100 or C101 VVT sensor connector.
-
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C100-3 (VC) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.0 V C101-3 (VC) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.0 V

OK | |
2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VVT SENSOR FOR INTAKE SIDE - ECM) |
-
Disconnect the C100 or C101 VVT sensor connector.
-
Disconnect the C45 ECM connector.
-
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C100-1 (VVL+) - C45-92 (VV1+) Always Below 1 ? C100-2 (VVL-) - C45-91 (VV1-) Always Below 1 ? C101-1 (VVR+) - C45-87 (VV2+) Always Below 1 ? C101-2 (VVR-) - C45-88 (VV2-) Always Below 1 ? C100-1 (VVL+) or C45-92 (VV1+) - Body ground Always 10 k? or higher C100-2 (VVL-) or C45-91 (VV1-) - Body ground Always 10 k? or higher C101-1 (VVR+) or C45-87 (VV2+) - Body ground Always 10 k? or higher C101-2 (VVR-) or C45-88 (VV2-) - Body ground Always 10 k? or higher
