3MZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0010: Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)

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 (included in the hybrid vehicle control ECU), Oil Control Valve and VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the oil control valve. 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 oil control valve, based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the oil control valve. As a result, the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft are optimized, the engine torque and fuel economy improves, 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.









MONITOR DESCRIPTION

After the ECM (included in the hybrid vehicle control ECU) sends the "target" duty-cycle signal to the oil control valve, the ECM monitors the oil control valve 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.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- If DTC P0010 is output, check the right bank VVT system.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
- If DTC P0020 is output, check the left bank VVT system.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include cylinder No. 1.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM (included in the hybrid vehicle control ECU) records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
(c) Put the engine in inspection mode Component Tests and General Diagnostics.
(d) Warm up the engine.
(e) On the Techstream, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2).
(f) Check the engine speed while operating the oil control valve using the Techstream.
OK:






NG -- INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY





(a) Disconnect the oil control valve connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:





(c) Reconnect the oil control valve connector.
NG -- REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. INSPECT HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OIL CONTROL VALVE - HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU)





(a) Disconnect the oil control valve connector.
(b) Disconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open):






Standard resistance (Check for short):





(d) Reconnect the oil control valve connector.
(e) Reconnect the hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU
