- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the power steering pump (see «PUMP REPLACEMENT»(ref-171420-S21147938422005020300000) ) and the auto-tensioner (see «DRIVE BELT AUTO-TENSIONER»(ref-153319-S18890095862004060800000) ).
- Remove the VTC strainer. 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 ). Is the VTC oil control solenoid valve OK? YES - Go to step 10. NO - Clean the ports of the valve, or replace the valve (see «VTC Oil Control Solenoid Valve Removal/Test/Installation»(ref-171387-S10192246882005020300000) ).
- Install the VTC oil control solenoid valve.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine at 700-1,000 RPM.
- Connect ECM/PCM connector terminal B23 to body ground with a jumper wire.
- Connect ECM/PCM 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/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck (see «ECM/PCM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING»(ref-171385-S32387647222005020300000) ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM. NO - Go to step 14.
- Check the VTC actuator (see «VTC ACTUATOR INSPECTION»(ref-171634-S14030887922005021000000) ). Is the VTC actuator OK? YES - Remove the power steering pump (see «PUMP REPLACEMENT»(ref-171420-S21147938422005020300000) ) and the auto-tensioner (see «DRIVE BELT AUTO-TENSIONER»(ref-153319-S18890095862004060800000) ), and clean or replace the VTC oil strainer.
