NJLC0042WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and oil may
be hot.
Oil pressure check should be done in “Neutral position”.
1. Check oil level.
2. Remove exhaust front tube.
3. Remove oil pressure switch.
4. Install pressure gauge.
5. Install exhaust front tube.
6. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check oil pressure with engine running under no-load.

DTC P1111 IVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
D T C P 1111 I V T C O N T R O L S O L E N O I D VA LV E
PFP:23796
Component DescriptionEBS00K9G
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF
pulse duty (ratio) signals from the ECM.
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil
amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit
or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle.
The shorter pulse width retards valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve
stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control
position.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeEBS00K9H
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS00K9I
DTC Confirmation ProcedureEBS00K9J
NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch “OFF”
and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine and let it idle for 5 seconds.
4. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-274, "
Diagnostic Procedure"
.
WITH GST
Following the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.

EC
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS00KBE
If the cooling fan or another component in the cooling system malfunctions, engine coolant temperature will
rise. When the engine coolant temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature condition, a malfunction
is indicated.
This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic.
CAUTION:
When a malfunction is indicated, be sure to replace the coolant. Refer to LC-11. Also, replace the
engine oil. Refer to LC-8.
1. Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed of 2 liters per minute. Be sure to
use coolant with the proper mixture ratio. Refer to MA-21.
2. After refilling coolant, run engine to ensure that no water-flow noise is emitted.
Overall Function CheckEBS00KBF
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be con-
firmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pres-
sure fluid escaping from the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up
pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
WITH CONSULT-II
1. Check the coolant level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level.
If the coolant level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below
the proper range, skip the following steps and go to EC-328,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
2. Confirm whether customer filled the coolant or not. If customer
filled the coolant, skip the following steps and go to EC-328,
"Diagnostic Procedure" .
3. Turn ignition switch “ON”.
