DESCRIPTION
The intake camshaft's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor (G signal) consists of a magnet and MRE
(Magneto Resistance Element).
The VVT camshaft drive gear has a sensor plate with 3 teeth on its outer circumference. When the gear
rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the sensor plate and MRE, which affects the magnetic
field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor converts the gear
rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the
ECM.
The crankshaft angle sensor plate has 34 teeth. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each engine
revolution. Based on combination of the G signal and NE signal, the ECM detects the crankshaft angle.
Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing. Also, based on the NE
signal, the ECM detects the engine speed.

DTC SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The circuit description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System (See page ES-409).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to the EVAP System (See page ES-412).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The two monitors, Key-Off and Purge Flow, are used to detect malfunctions relating to DTC P0441. The
Key-off monitor is initiated by the ECM internal timer, known as the soak timer, 5 hours
*1 after the ignition
switch is turned off. The purge flow monitor runs while the engine is running.

Switching Valve) stuck

(vacuum) in EVAP system and EVAP
system pressure is measured. 0.02 inch
leak pressure standard is measured at
start and end of leak check.
If stabilized pressure is higher than

standard x 0.2], ECM determines that
purge VSV is stuck open

purge VSV is turned ON (open), and
atmospheric air is introduced into EVAP

is measured at the start and end of leak
check.
If pressure does not return to near
atmospheric pressure, ECM determines
that purge valve is stuck closedWhile

P0441 Purge flowWhile engine running, the following
conditions are successively met:
• Negative pressure is not created in
EVAP system when purge VSV is
turned ON (open)
• EVAP system pressure change is
less than 0.5 kPa (3.75 mmHg) when
vent valve is turned ON (closed)
• Atmospheric pressure change before
and after purge flow monitor is less
than 0.1 kPa (0.75 mmHg)While

(b) Purge VSV stuck closed
In operation D, the pressure sensor measures the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system
pressure. The pressure measurement for purge VSV monitor is begun when the purge VSV is
turned on (open) after the EVAP leak check. When the measured pressure indicates an increase
of 0.3 kPa (2.25 mmHg) or more, the purge VSV is functioning normally. If the pressure does not
increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed. The ECM illuminates the
MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
2. PURGE FLOW MONITOR
The purge flow monitor consists of the two step monitors.
The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd
monitor is activated if necessary.
• The 1st monitor
While the engine is running and the purge VSV
(Vacuum Switching Valve) is on (open), the ECM
monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP
pressure change. If negative pressure is not created,
the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.
• The 2nd monitor
The vent valve is turned on (closed) and the EVAP
pressure is then measured. If the variation in the
pressure is less than 0.5 kPa (3.75 mmHg), the ECM
interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed,
and illuminates the MIL and sets DTC P0441 (2 trip
detection logic).
Atmospheric pressure check:
In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the
variation between the atmospheric pressures, before
and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is
measured by the ECM.

FA I L - S A F E
When either of these DTCs, as well as other DTCs relating to ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System)
malfunctions, is set, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM cuts the current to
the throttle actuator off, and the throttle valve is returned to a 6
throttle angle by the return spring. The
ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel injection (intermittent fuel-cut) and ignition
timing, in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle, to allow the vehicle to continue at a
minimal speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is then turned off.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P2102 (See page ES-331).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
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.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(e) Read the DTCs.
