CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT: If DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is present, check the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system.

DESCRIPTION

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, camshaft timing oil control valve and VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing 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 the intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature. The ECM controls the camshaft timing oil control valve, based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the exhaust camshaft angle using oil pressure through the camshaft timing oil control valve. 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 exhaust 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

DTC P0014 and P0024
The ECM compares current valve timing with target valve timing, while the engine is running and after being warmed up, in order to monitor the VVT system on the exhaust side. Valve timing is calculated from the positions of the camshaft and crankshaft. The ECM controls the engine so that current valve timing meets target valve timing. If these timings are not met, the ECM determines this as a malfunction.
DTC P0015 and P0025
The ECM compares current valve timing with target valve timing, while the engine is running and after being warmed up, in order to monitor the VVT system on the exhaust side. Valve timing is calculated from the positions of the camshaft and crankshaft. The ECM controls the engine so that current valve timing meets target valve timing. If these timings are not met, the ECM determines this as a malfunction.

TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS





TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

Advanced camshaft timing:





Retarded camshaft timing:





If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timings is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the VVT actuator.
Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 5 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE





HINT:
- If DTC P0014 or P0015 is displayed, check the bank 1 VVT system circuit.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
- If DTC P0024 or P0025 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system circuit.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include cylinder No. 1.
- 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 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. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 OR P0025)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Code.
(d) Read the DTCs.
Result:





HINT: If any DTCs other than P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B -- GO TO DTC CHART
A -- Continue to next step.
2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OIL CONTROL VALVE FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the tester on.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 1) or Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 2).
(e) Check the engine speed while operating the oil control valve using the tester.
OK:






NG -- CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMP TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 OR P0025)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
(c) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(d) Start the engine and warm it up.
(e) Switch the check mode using the tester Check Mode Procedure.
(f) Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
(g) Read the DTCs using the tester.
OK:
No DTC output.
NG -- CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMP TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)
OK -- SYSTEM IS OK
4. CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMP TEETH ON TIMING CHAIN)




(a) Remove the cylinder head covers RH and LH.
(b) Turn the crankshaft to align the matchmarks of the crankshaft.
(c) Align the notch of the crankshaft pulley to the "0" position.
(d) Check if the matchmarks of the camshaft pulley and camshaft bearing cap align.
(e) Turn the crankshaft clockwise by 360° if the matchmarks do not align. Check if they align once again.
OK:
The matchmarks of the camshaft pulley and the camshaft bearing cap align when the notch of the crankshaft pulley is in the "0" position.
NG -- ADJUST VALVE TIMING
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT)
(a) Remove the exhaust camshaft timing oil control valve.




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

HINT: DTC P0014, P0015, P0024 or P0025 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will stay registered even if the system returns to normal after a short time. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.

NG -- REPLACE ECM
OK -- SYSTEM IS OK
