DESCRIPTION

In the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system, the appropriate intake and exhaust valve open and close timing is controlled by the ECM. The ECM performs intake and exhaust valve control by performing the following: 1) controlling the camshaft and camshaft timing oil control valve, and operating the camshaft timing gear; and 2) changing the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft.

DTC Code

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0016

Deviation in the crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor (for Intake side of Bank 1) signal (2 trip detection logic).

  • Mechanical system (Timing chain has jumped tooth or chain stretched)
  • Camshaft oil control valve (OCV) (for intake side of bank 1)
  • Camshaft timing gear assembly
  • ECM

P0017

Deviation in the crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor (for Exhaust side of Bank 1) signal (2 trip detection logic).

  • Mechanical system (Timing chain has jumped tooth or chain stretched)
  • OCV (for exhaust side of bank 1)
  • Camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly
  • ECM

P0018

Deviation in the crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor (for Intake side of Bank 2) signal (2 trip detection logic).

  • Mechanical system (Timing chain has jumped tooth or chain stretched)
  • OCV (for intake side of bank 2)
  • Camshaft timing gear assembly
  • ECM

P0019

Deviation in the crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor (for Exhaust side of Bank 2) signal (2 trip detection logic).

  • Mechanical system (Timing chain has jumped tooth or chain stretched)
  • OCV (for exhaust side of bank 2)
  • Camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly (bank 2)
  • 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 the specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0016 (Bank 1) or P0018 (Bank 2).

To monitor the correlation of the exhaust 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 exhaust valve timing is set to the most advanced angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learning value is out of the specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0017 (Bank 1) or P0019 (Bank 2).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. 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.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0016, P0017, P0018 OR P0019)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

(c) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

(d) Read DTCs.

2.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OCV)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.

(c) Warm up the engine.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).

(e) Check the engine speed while operating the Camshaft Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the Techstream.

OK:
