PREPARATION:
(a) Clear the DTC (See page DI±43).
(b) Perform simulation test.
CHECK:
Check whether or not DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is stored (See page DI±43).
OK:
Standard: DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is not stored.
OK VVT system is OK.*
*: DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is also output when a
foreign object is detected in some parts of the system in the en-
gine oil, and then the system returns to normal in a short time.
As ECM is controlled to eject a foreign object, there is no prob-
lem on the VVT. There is also no problem on the VVT as the oil
filter should catch the foreign object in the engine oil.
NG
Replace ECM.

DTC P0016 Crankshaft Position ± Camshaft Position
Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
DTC P0018 Crankshaft Position ± Camshaft Position
Correlation (Bank 2 Sensor A)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
VVT sensor (VVL or VVR signal) consist of a signal plate and pickup coil.
The VVL or VVR signal plate has 1 tooth on its outer circumference and is mounted on the intake camshafts.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The actual camshaft angle is detected by the VVT sensor and it provides feedback to the ECM to control
the intake valve timing in response to during condition.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the intake valve
camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the OCV (Oil Control Valve) and the VVT controller. 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 cam-
shaft. The ECM calibrates the valve timing of the VVT system by setting the camshaft to the maximum retard
angle when the engine is idle. The ECM closes the OCV to retard the cam. The ECM stores this value as
VVT learning value (When the difference between the target valve timing and the actual valve timing is 5
degrees or less, the ECM stores this in its memory.).
If the learning value meets both of the following conditions ((a) and (b)), the ECM interprets this as a defect
in the VVT system and sets a DTC.
(a) VVT learning value is less than 20°CA (Crankshaft Angle) or more than 39°CA.
(b) Above condition continues for more than 18 sec.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0016 is displayed, check left bank VVT sensor.
If DTC P0018 is displayed, check right bank VVT sensor.
Read freeze frame data using hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for deter-
mining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio
was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
1 Check valve timing (Check for loose and jumping teeth of timing belt) (See page
EM±16).
NG Adjust valve timing (Repair or replace timing
belt).
OK
Replace ECM (See page SF±80).

Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include cylinder No.1.
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the Air±Fuel Ratio sensor (A/F sensor) information to regulate the air±fuel ratio close to the
stoichiometric ratio. This maximizes the catalytic converter's ability to purify exhaust gases. The sensor de-
tects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and sends this signal to the ECM.
The inner surface of the sensor element is exposed to outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element
is exposed to exhaust gas. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an inte-
grated heating element. The zirconia element generates a small voltage when there is a large difference in
the oxygen concentrations of the exhaust and the outside air. The platinum coating amplifies the voltage
generation. When heated, the sensor becomes very efficient. If the temperature of the exhaust is low, the
sensor will not generate useful voltage signals without supplemental heating. The ECM regulates the sup-
plemental heating using a duty±cycle approach to regulate the average current in the heater element. If the
heater current is out of the normal range, the sensor's output signals will be inaccurate and the ECM can
not regulate the air±fuel ratio properly.
When the heater current is out of the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction and
sets a DTC.
