• Vehicle was driven in the city area (or on free-
way) for 10 minutes or more.
(b) Monitor Conditions
(1) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 6 hours.
HINT:
Do not start the engine until checking Readiness
Monitor status. If the engine is started, the step
described above must be repeated.
(c) Monitor Status
(1) Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
(4) Check the Readiness Monitor status displayed
on the tester or scan tool.
If the status does not switch to COMPL
(complete), restart the engine, make sure that
the preconditions have been met, and then
perform the Monitor Conditions again.
4. A/F SENSOR AND HO2S MONITORS
(a) Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
• 2 minutes or more have elapsed since the engine
was started.
• The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is 75
C
(167
F) or more.
• Cumulative driving time at a vehicle speed of 30
mph (48 km/h) or more exceeds 6 minutes.
• Air-fuel ratio feedback control is performed.
• Fuel-cut control is performed for 8 seconds or
more (for the Rear HO2 Sensor Monitor).
(b) Drive Pattern for front A/F sensor and HO2 sensor.
(1) Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Turn the tester ON.
(4) Clear the DTCs.
(5) Start the engine, and warm it up until the ECT
reaches 75
C (167F) or higher.
(6) Drive the vehicle at 38 mph (60 km/h) or more
for at least 10 minutes.
(7) Change the transmission to the 2nd gear.
(8) Accelerate the vehicle to 40 mph (64 km/h) or
more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at
least 10 seconds (Procedure "A").
(9) Soon after performing procedure "A" above,
release the accelerator pedal for at least 4
seconds without depressing the brake pedal, in
order to execute fuel-cut control (Procedure "B").
(10) Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle
speed declines to less than 6 mph (10 km/h)
(Procedure "C").
(11) Repeat procedures from "A" through "C" above
at least 3 times in one driving cycle.

In order to enhance OBD function on vehicles and
develop the Off-Board diagnosis system, CAN
communication is introduced in this system (CAN:
Controller Area Network). It minimizes a gap
between technician skills and vehicle technology.
CAN is a network, which uses a pair of data
transmission lines, spanning multiple computers
and sensors. It allows a high speed communication
between the systems and to simplify the wire
harness connection.
Since this system is equipped with the CAN
communication, connecting the CAN VIM (VIM:
Vehicle Interface Module) with an intelligent tester is
necessary to display any information from the ECM.
(Also the communication between the intelligent
tester and the ECM uses CAN communication
signal.) When confirming the DTCs and any data of
the ECM, connect the CAN VIM between the DLC3
and the intelligent tester.
2. NORMAL MODE AND CHECK MODE
(a) The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. In normal mode, 2 trip
detection logic is used to ensure accurate detection
of malfunctions. Check mode is also available as an
option for technicians. In check mode, 1 trip
detection logic is used for simulating malfunction
symptoms and increasing the system's ability to
detect malfunctions, including intermittent problems
(intelligent tester only) (See page ES-43).
3. 2 TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
(a) When a malfunction is first detected, the
malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM
memory (1st trip). If the same malfunction is
detected during the next subsequent drive cycle, the
MIL is illuminated (2nd trip).
4. FREEZE FRAME DATA
(a) 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.

FREEZE FRAME DATA
1. DESCRIPTION
(a) 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.
HINT:
If it is impossible to duplicate the problem even
though a DTC is detected, confirm the freeze frame
data.
(b) The ECM records engine conditions in the form of
freeze frame data every 0.5 seconds. Using the
intelligent tester, five separate sets of freeze frame
data, including the data values at the time when the
DTC was set, can be checked.
• 3 data sets before the DTC was set
• 1 data set when the DTC was set
• 1 data set after the DTC was set
These data sets can be used to simulate the
condition of the vehicle around the time of the
occurrence of the malfunction. The data may assist
in identifying of the cause of the malfunction, and in
judging whether it was temporary or not.

HINT:
If DTC P0011, P0012, P0021 or P0022 is present, check the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system.
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0010 (See page ES-75).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system to control the
intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and the VVT controller.
The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the oil
pressure applied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake camshaft.
If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timings is large, and changes in actual intake
valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the VVT controller stuck malfunction and sets a DTC.
Example:
A DTC will be set when the following conditions 1), 2) and 3) are met:
1) The difference between the target and actual intake valve timings is more than 5
CA (Crankshaft
Angle) and the condition continues for more than 4.5 seconds.
2) It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5
CA.

3) After above conditions 1) and 2) are met, the OCV is forcibly activated 63 times or more.
DTCs P0011 and P0021 (Advanced Cam Timing) are detected with 1 trip detection logic.
DTCs P0012 and P0022 (Retarded Cam Timing) are detected with 2 trip detection logic.
These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to OCV malfunctions or the
presence of foreign objects in the OCV.
The monitor will not run unless the following conditions are met:
- The engine is warm (the engine coolant temperature is 75
C [167F] or more).
- The vehicle has been driven at more than 40 mph (64 km/h) for 3 minutes.
- The engine has idled for 3 minutes.
