MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake
valve camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the OCV and the VVT actuator. The ECM sends a
target "duty-cycle" control signal to the OCV. This control signal, applied to the OCV, regulates the oil
pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake valve
camshaft.
Example:
A DTC will set if: 1) the difference between the target and actual valve timing is more than 5° of the
Crankshaft Angle (CA) and the condition continues for more than 4.5 sec.; or 2) the OCV is forcibly
activated 63 times or more.
Advanced cam DTCs are subject to 1 trip detection logic.
Retarded cam DTCs are subject to 2 trip detection logic.
The monitor runs if all the conditions below are met:

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Advanced timing over Retarded timing over
Abnormal bank
(Valve timing is out of specified range) (Valve timing is out of specified range)
Bank 1 P0011 P0012
Bank 2 P0021 P0022

• If DTC P0011 or P0012 is displayed, check the bank 1 Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system circuit.
• If DTC P0021 or P0022 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system circuit.
• Bank 1 includes No. 1 cylinder, but bank 2 does not. No. 1 cylinder is located in the front part of the
engine, opposite the transmission.
• Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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.

1 PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (OCV OPERATION)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then

connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and warm it up.

(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED

OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT CTRL B1 or VVT CTRL
B2.
(d) Using the intelligent tester, operate the Oil Control Valve
(OCV) and check the engine speed.
Standard
Tester Operation Specified Condition
OCV is OFF Normal engine speed
OCV is ON Rough idle or engine stall

HINT:
DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is also output when a
foreign object is detected in some parts of the system in the
engine oil, and then the system returns to normal in a short
time. As the ECM is controlled to eject a foreign object, there
ES is no problem with the VVT. There is also no problem with the
VVT as the oil filter should catch the foreign object in the
engine oil.

2 CHECK VALVE TIMING (CHECK FOR LOOSE AND JUMPED TOOTH OF TIMING BELT)

(a) Check the valve timing (See page EM-16).

NG ADJUST VALVE TIMING

3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OCV-ECM)

(a) Inspect using an oscilloscope.

OCV Signal Waveform (b) During idling, check the waveform between the specified
terminals of the E6 ECM connector.

8 CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 OR P0022)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM.

Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
(c) Clear DTCs.
(d) Start the engine and warm it up.
(e) Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using
the tester.
(f) Drive the vehicle for more than 10 minutes.
(g) Read output DTCs using the tester.
Standard:
No DTC output.
HINT:
DTC P0011 or P0012 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.
