P0014





2ZR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P0014, P0015: Camshaft Position "B" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)


DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0013 P0013.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and the VVT controller (camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly). The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.

If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in the actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as a VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

- Example:

- A DTC is stored when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:

a. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").

b. After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated for 10 seconds (Condition "B").

- DTC P0014 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.

- DTC P0015 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.

- These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to a camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunction or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

MONITOR STRATEGY





TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS





TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

Advanced Camshaft Timing





Retarded Camshaft Timing





If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timing is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the VVT actuator for 10 seconds by applying and releasing oil pressure.

Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 10 seconds.

* If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [F] through [H].

14. Repeat the pattern of accelerating the vehicle from rest to approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) and then decelerating the vehicle 10 to 15 times [F].

* If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

18. Check the DTC judgment result again.

HINT
* If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
* If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
* If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the following procedure.

19. Perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
* If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0013 P0013.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* DTC P0014 or P0015 may be set when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain set even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Foreign objects are filtered out by the oil filter.
* Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. 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.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0014 OR P0015)
