P0014





2GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0014, P0015, P0024, P0025: Camshaft Position "B" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
P0025 - Camshaft Position "B" - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)

DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0013 P0013.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in the actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

- Example:

- A DTC is stored when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:

a. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").

b. After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft) is forcibly activated for 10 seconds (Condition "B").

- DTCs P0014 and P0024 (Advanced Cam Timing) are subject to 2 trip detection logic.

- DTCs P0015 and P0025 (Retarded Cam Timing) are subject to 1 trip detection logic.

- These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to a camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft) malfunction or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft).

MONITOR STRATEGY





TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS





TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

P0014 and P0024: Advanced Camshaft Timing





P0015 and P0025: Retarded Camshaft Timing





If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timing is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the VVT actuator for 10 seconds by applying and releasing oil pressure. Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 10 seconds.

When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

8. Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [D].

9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].

11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

12. Input the DTC: P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025.

13. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [F] through [H].

14. Repeat the pattern of accelerating the vehicle from rest to approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) and then decelerating the vehicle 10 to 15 times [F].

CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

HINT
Depress the accelerator pedal by a large amount.

15. Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [G].

16. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [H].

17. Read the pending DTCs.

HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

18. Check the DTC judgment result again.

HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the following procedure.

19. Perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT






- If DTC P0014 or P0015 is output, check the VVT system (for exhaust camshaft of bank 1) circuit.
- If DTC P0024 or P0025 is output, check the VVT system (for exhaust camshaft of bank 2) circuit.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transaxle.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
- DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 may be stored when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Those foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
