 The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
 Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
 Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is closed quickly to
reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the charging effect.
 The system reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
 If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the fully retarded position.
 The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
 The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine speeds.

This system supplies air for engine needs.
When the engine is cold, the intake air bypass control
thermal valve sends air to the injector.
The amount of air is regulated by engine coolant
temperature. Once the engine is hot, the intake air
bypass control thermal valve closes, stopping air to the
injector. The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen (N ), and
water vapor.
The PCV valve prevents blow-by gasses from escaping
into the atmosphere by venting them into the intake
manifold.

PURGE VALVE ATMOSPHERE
The EVAP controls minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping into the atmosphere. Vapor from the fuel tank is
temporarily stored in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the canister into the engine and burned.
The EVAP canister is purged by drawing fresh air through it and into a port on the intake manifold.
The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP canister purge valve, which operates whenever engine coolant
temperature is above 60 °C (140 °F).

DTC Troubleshooting
MAF Sensor Circuit Range/
Performance Problem
NOTE:
 Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
 If DTC P1128, P1129, P2228, and/or P2229 are stored at the same time as DTC P0101, troubleshoot those
DTCs first, then recheck for DTC P0101.
1. Check for poor connections or damage to these parts:
 PCV hose
 Intake air duct
 Air cleaner
 Purge (PCS) line
 Brake booster
 Brake booster hose
Go to step 2.
Repair or replace the damaged part(s), then
go to step 17.
2. Check for damage or looseness at the air duct in the air cleaner.
Go to step 3.
Reconnect or replace the air duct in the air
cleaner, then go to step 15.
3. Check for a dirty air cleaner element.
Replace the air cleaner element (see page
11-346), then go to step 15.
Go to step 4. 4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the
HDS.
Go to step 7.
Go to step 13.
7. Start the engine.
8. Vary the engine speed between 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm.
9. Check the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Go to step 10.
Go to step 13.
10. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
11. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:
 ENGINE S PEED
 VSS
 MAP SENSOR
 MAF SENSOR
12. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0101 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Go to step 13.
If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent
failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for
poor connections or loose terminals at the MAF
sensor/IAT sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the screen
indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 11 and
recheck.

2. Check for vacuum leaks at these parts:
 PCV valve
 PCV hose
 EVAP canister purge valve
 Throttle body
 Intake manifold
 Brake booster
 Brake booster hose
 Intake air duct
Go to step 3.
Repair or replace the part(s) with leaks, then
go to step 7.
3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in

idle.
4. Check for these conditions:  Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above70°C(158°F)
 A/T in N, M/T in neutral
 All electrical loads off
5. Monitor the ENGINE SPEED in the DATA LIST with the HDS, and hold the engine speed at 2,500 rpm.
Once the engine speed is met, hold the accelerator
pedal steady for more than 10 seconds.
Repeat step 5.
Go to step 6. 6. While holding the engine speed at 2,500 rpm, check
the MAF SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Check the engine valve clearances and adjust
them if needed; K20Z2 engine (see page 6-12),
K20Z3 engine (see page 6-14). If the valve
clearances are OK, replace the injectors (see page
11-219), then go to step 7.
Replace the MAF sensor/IAT sensor (see page
11-224), then go to step 7.
7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
8. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
9. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
10. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
11. Test-drive under these conditions:  Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above70°C(158°F)
 A/TinD,M/Tin4th
 Drive at a steady speed between 24 120 km/h (15 75 mph) for 15 minutes
NOTE: DTC P0171 and/or P0172 may take up to
80 minutes of test driving to set. Using the HDS,
monitor or the air fuel feed back average (AF FB
AVE). If the AF FB AVE stays within 0.80 1.25,
there is no problem at this time.
12. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Go to step 1.
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other
Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the
indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
