NO: Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck (see «ECM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING»(ref-171994-S19233909092005021700000) ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM.
- Disconnect the VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector.
- Check for continuity between ECM connector terminals B1 and B23 and body ground individually. Is there continuity? YES: Repair short in the wire between the ECM (B1, B23) and the VTC oil control solenoid valve. NO: Replace the VTC oil control solenoid valve (see «VTC OIL CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/TEST/INSTALLATION»(ref-172041-S42109466502005021800000) ).

- Reset the ECM (see «HOW TO UPDATE THE ECM»(ref-171994-S01671393282005021700000) ).
- Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 RPM with no load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Test-drive at a steady speed between 20-40 mph (30-60 km/h) for 10 minutes.
- Check for Temporary DTC P0011 with the HDS or a scan tool. Is Temporary DTC P0011 indicated? YES: Go to step 5. NO: Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose wires at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and at the ECM.
- Watch the low oil pressure light with the engine running. Is the low oil pressure light on? YES: Check the oil pressure (see «OIL PRESSURE TEST»(ref-172254-S28646888312005022300000) ). NO: Go to step 6.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the auto-tensioner (see «DRIVE BELT AUTO-TENSIONER REPLACEMENT»(ref-172320-S10118027702005022400000) ).
- Remove the VTC strainer (A). Check the VTC strainer for clogging. Is the strainer OK? YES: Go to step 9. NO: Clean the VTC strainer, then replace the engine oil filter and the engine oil.
- Check the VTC oil control solenoid valve (see «MIL CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-172003-S34898922342005021700000) ). Is the VTC oil control solenoid valve OK? YES: Go to step 10. NO: Clean the ports of the VTC oil control solenoid valve, or replace the VTC oil control solenoid valve (see «VTC OIL CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/TEST/INSTALLATION»(ref-172041-S42109466502005021800000) ).
- Install the VTC oil control solenoid valve.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine at 700-1,000 RPM.
- Connect ECM connector terminal B23 to body ground with a jumper wire.
- Connect ECM connector terminals A3 and B1 with a jumper wire momentarily. NOTE: Do not jump for more than 1 minute. Did the engine stall or run rough? YES: Test-drive at a steady speed between 20-40 mph (30-60 km/h) for 10 minutes. If temporary DTC P0011 is indicated, update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck (see «ECM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING»(ref-171994-S19233909092005021700000) ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM. NO: Go to step 14.
- Check the VTC actuator (see «VTC ACTUATOR INSPECTION»(ref-173867-S35738139082005032300000) ). Is the VTC actuator OK? YES: Remove the auto-tensioner (see «DRIVE BELT AUTO-TENSIONER REPLACEMENT»(ref-172320-S10118027702005022400000) ), and clean or replace the VTC oil strainer. Update the ECM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then recheck (see «ECM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING»(ref-171994-S19233909092005021700000) ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the original ECM. NO: Replace the VTC actuator.
