INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT

  1. If DTC P0010 is displayed, check the right bank VVT system for intake camshaft circuit.
  2. If DTC P0020 is displayed, check the left bank VVT system for intake camshaft circuit.
  3. Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*. *: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
  4. Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
  5. Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored.
