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).

HINT:
Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three±Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located far
from the engine assembly.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In order to obtain a high purification rate of the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide
(NOx) components in the exhaust gas, a TWC is used. For the most efficient use of the TWC, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel level. For the purpose
of helping the ECM to deliver accurate air±fuel ratio control, a Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor is used.
The HO2 sensor is located behind the TWC, and detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. Since
the sensor is integrated with the heater that heats the sensing portion, it is possible to detect the oxygen
concentration even when the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low).
When the air±fuel ratio becomes lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is rich. The HO2 sensor
informs the ECM that the post±TWC air±fuel ratio is lean (low voltage, i.e. less than 0.45 V).
Conversely, when the air±fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric air±fuel level, the oxygen concentration
in the exhaust gas becomes lean. The HO2 sensor informs the ECM that the post±TWC air±fuel ratio is rich
(high voltage, i.e. more than 0.45 V). The HO2 sensor has the property of changing its output voltage drasti-
cally when the air±fuel ratio is close to the stoichiometric level.
The ECM uses the supplementary information from the HO2 sensor to determine whether the air±fuel ratio
after the TWC is rich or lean, and adjusts the fuel injection time accordingly. Thus, if the HO2 sensor is work-

HINT:
When DTC P0171 or P0174 is recorded, the actual air±fuel ratio is on the LEAN side. When DTC
P0172 or P0175 is recorded, the actual air±fuel ratio is on the RICH side.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air±fuel ratio is LEAN and DTC P0171 or P0174 may be recorded.
The MIL then comes on.
If the total of the short±term fuel trim value and long±term fuel trim value is within 35 % (engine cool-
ant temperature is more than 75 C (167F)), the system is functioning normally.

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using a hand±held tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when
malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle
was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air±fuel ratio was lean or rich, and
other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
A low A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air±fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would
cause the engine to run rich.
A high A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air±fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would
cause the engine to run lean.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor consists of a magnet, an iron core and a pick±up coil. This sensor monitors
a timing rotor located on the camshaft and is used by the ECM to detect the camshaft angle. The camshaft
rotation synchronizes with the crankshaft rotation, and this sensor communicates the rotation of the cam-
shaft timing rotor as a pulse signal to the ECM. Based on the signal, the ECM controls fuel injection time
and ignition timing.
If there is no signal from the camshaft position sensor even though the engine is turning or the rotation of
the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor
and sets a DTC.
