Standard Condition Tester Operation Specified Condition 0% Normal engine speed 100% Engine idles roughly or stalls HINT: If the result is not acceptable, cool the engine (engine coolant temperature is 50°C (122°F) or less) and perform the Active Test again. Inspect the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft). Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT Exhaust Linear (Bank 1). Check the engine speed while operating the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust camshaft) using the Techstream. Standard Condition Tester Operation Specified Condition 0% Normal engine speed 100% Engine idles roughly or stalls HINT: If the result is not acceptable, cool the engine (engine coolant temperature is 50°C (122°F) or less) and perform the Active Test again.

  1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Resistance Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 20°C (68°F) 6.9 to 7.9 ohms If the result is not as specified, replace the oil control valve assembly. Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 1 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 2, and check the movement of the valve. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION *1 Valve *a Component without harness connected (Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve) *b When applied *c When cut off OK Condition Specified Condition Battery positive (+) voltage is applied Valve moves in left arrow direction shown in illustration Battery positive (+) voltage is cut off Valve moves in right arrow direction shown in illustration NOTE: Confirm that the valve moves freely and does not stick in any position. If necessary, replace the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. HINT: Accumulation of foreign matter can cause minor pressure leaks. Minor pressure leaks will cause the camshaft to advance or retard, and this will cause a DTC to be set.
  1. CHECK THROTTLE WITH MOTOR BODY ASSEMBLY Check the throttle control motor operating sound. Turn the ignition switch to ON. When depressing the accelerator pedal, check the operating sound of the running motor. Make sure that no friction noises are emitted from the motor. If friction noises exist, replace the throttle with motor body assembly. Check the throttle position sensor. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Turn the Techstream on. Perform the "Inspection After Repair" . Refer to «INITIALIZATION»(ref-507772-S36366337852012100900000) . Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Gas Throttle / Throttle Sensor Position. Depress the accelerator pedal. When the throttle valve is fully opened, check that the value of "Throttle Sensor Position" is within the specification. Standard throttle valve opening percentage 60% or more NOTE: When checking the standard throttle valve opening percentage, make sure that the shift lever is in N. If the percentage is less than 60%, replace the throttle with motor body assembly.
