    • (a) Valve timing does not change from current valve timing
    • (b) Current valve timing is fixed (difference between "target" and "actual" camshaft timing is more than 5° CA for 4.5 seconds and camshaft timing change is less than 5° CA for 5 seconds)
  • OCV
  • Valve timing
  • OCV filter
  • Camshaft timing tube assembly
  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

Example:

A DTC will set if: 1) the difference between the target and actual valve timing is more than 5° of the Crankshaft Angle (CA) and the condition continues for more than 4.5 seconds; or 2) the OCV is forcibly activated 63 times or more.

Advanced cam DTCs are subject to 1 trip detection logic.

Retarded cam DTCs are subject to 2 trip detection logic.

The monitor runs if all the conditions below are met:

  • After engine warm-up (engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or more).
  • After driving the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph) for 3 minutes.
  • After idling the engine for 3 minutes.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Abnormal bank

Advanced timing over

(Valve timing is out of specified range)

Retarded timing over

(Valve timing is out of specified range)

Bank 1

P0011

P0012

Bank 2

P0021

P0022

  • If DTC P0011 or P0012 is displayed, check the bank 1 Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system circuit.
  • If DTC P0021 or P0022 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system circuit.
  • Bank 1 includes No. 1 cylinder, but bank 2 does not. No. 1 cylinder is located in the front part of the engine, opposite the transmission.
  • 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.

NOTICE:

DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is also output when a foreign object is detected in some parts of the system in the engine oil, and then the system returns to normal in a short time. As the ECM is controlled to eject a foreign object, there is no problem with the VVT. There is also no problem with the VVT as the oil filter should catch the foreign object in the engine oil.

PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (OCV OPERATION)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine and warm it up.

(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT CTRL B1 or VVT CTRL B2.

(d) Using the intelligent tester, operate the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and check the engine speed.

Standard:

Tester Operation

Specified Condition

OCV is OFF

Normal engine speed

OCV is ON

Rough idle or engine stall

NG

GO TO STEP 4

OK

2.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (OCV OPERATION)

(a) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT B1 or VVT B2.

(b) Change the VVT B1 and VVT B2 values to a value between -100% to 100%.

HINT:

VVT B1 and VVT B2 values should be added to the current OCV duty ratio.

(c) Confirm the current VVT angle by checking VVTL CHNG ANGL #1 and VVTL CHNG ANGL #2.

OK:

Operation of VVT B1 or VVT B2 leads to an immediate, linear change in the VVT angle.

NOTICE:

  • With the engine idling and with the advanced camshaft timing (VVT B1 or VVT B2 has a value of 0% to 100%), engine revolutions will be rough or the engine will stall.
  • When the vehicle is being driven, if the engine is turned off or the throttle valve is open, this ACTIVE TEST will automatically be canceled.

CHECK IF DTC OUTPUT REOCCUR (DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022)

(a) Select check mode 2006 MY LX470 [05/2005 -        ]; 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: CHECK MODE PROCEDURE .

(b) Start and warm up the engine.
