DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE


1. PRECONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
1.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- GO TO 2.

2. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.Start engine and let it idle for 10 seconds.
2.Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES- Proceed to "Diagnosis Procedure" .
NO- INSPECTION END


Diagnosis Procedure


1. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING (EVT) CONTROL POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect exhaust valve timing (EVT) control position sensor harness connector.
3.Turn ignition switch ON.
4.Check the voltage between EVT control position sensor harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- GO TO 2.

2. CHECK SENSOR POWER SUPPLY 2 CIRCUIT

Perform "Diagnosis Procedure" Sensor Power Supply2 Circuit.
Is inspection result normal?
YES- Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.
NO- Repair or replace error-detected parts.

3. CHECK EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3.Check the continuity between EVT control position sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.





*1: Except for California
*2: For California
4.Also check harness for short to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Repair or replace error-detected parts.

4. CHECK EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT

1.Disconnect ECM harness connector.
2.Check the continuity between EVT control position sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.





*1: Except for California
*2: For California
3.Also check harness for short to ground and to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Repair or replace error-detected parts.

5. CHECK EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR

Check the EVT control position sensor. Refer to "Component Inspection" .
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 6.
NO- Replace EVT control position sensor. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.

6. CHECK CAMSHAFT (EXT)

Check the following.





- Accumulation of debris to the signal plate of camshaft rear end
- Chipping signal plate of camshaft rear end
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- Check intermittent incident. Refer to "Intermittent Incident" Intermittent Incident.
NO- Remove debris and clean the signal plate of camshaft rear end or replace camshaft. Refer to "Removal and Installation" Removal And Installation.


Component Inspection


1. EXHAUST VALVE TIMING (EVT) CONTROL POSITION SENSOR-1

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect EVT control position sensor harness connector.
3.Loosen the fixing bolt of the sensor.
4.Remove the sensor.





5.Visually check the sensor for chipping.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 2.
NO- Replace EVT control position sensor. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.

2. EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR-2

Check resistance EVT control position sensor terminals as shown below.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Replace EVT control position sensor. Refer to "Exploded View" Exploded View.
