Title: 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0010,P0020; Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1); 2007 MY LX470 [08/2006 -        ]

DTC

P0010

Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)

DTC

P0020

Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 2)

DESCRIPTION

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, Oil Control Valve (OCV) and VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine operating conditions such as intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature.

The ECM controls the OCV, based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. 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 intake valve timing using signals from the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors, and performs feedback control. This is how the target intake valve timing is verified by the ECM.

DTC No.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

After the ECM sends the "target" duty-cycle signal to the OCV, the ECM monitors the OCV current to establish an "actual" duty-cycle. The ECM detects a malfunction and sets a DTC when the actual duty-cycle ratio varies from the target duty-cycle ratio.

This monitor runs for 1 second (the first second of engine idle) after the engine is started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  • If DTC P0010 is displayed, check the bank 1 OCV.
  • If DTC P0020 is displayed, check the bank 2 OCV.
  • 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.

PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST (OCV)

(a) Allow the engine to idle and warm up the engine.

(b) Using the intelligent tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT CTRL B1 or VVT CTRL B2.

(c) Turn the oil control valve (OCV) on and check the engine speed.

OK:

Tester Operation

Specified Condition

OCV is OFF

Normal engine speed

OCV is ON

Engine idles roughly or stalls (soon after OCV switched from OFF to ON)

NG

GO TO STEP 2

OK

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

2.

CHECK CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY

(a) Disconnect the camshaft oil control valve (OCV) connector.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
