DESCRIPTION
The VVT sensor (for exhaust side) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistive Element).
The exhaust camshaft has a sensor plate with 3 teeth on its outer circumference.
When the exhaust camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the 3 teeth and MRE, which affects the magnet. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor (for exhaust side) converts the exhaust camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM.
The crankshaft (crank angle sensor plate) has 34 teeth. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each engine rotation. Based on combination of the VVT signals and NE signal, the ECM detects the crankshaft angle. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing. Also, based on the NE signal, the ECM detects the engine speed.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If no signal is transmitted by the VVT sensor (for exhaust side) despite the engine revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.
When the sensor output voltage remains less than 0.3 V, or more than 4.7 V for more than 5 seconds, the ECM stores a DTC.
The ECM uses the sensors mounted in front of and behind the three-way catalytic converter to monitor its efficiency.
The first sensor, the air fuel ratio sensor, sends pre-catalyst information to the ECM. The second sensor, the heated oxygen sensor, sends post-catalyst information to the ECM.
In order to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter, the ECM calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. This calculation is based on the voltage output of the heated oxygen sensor while performing active air fuel ratio control, rather than the conventional detecting method, which uses the locus ratio.
The oxygen storage capacity value is an indication of the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter. When the vehicle is being driven with a warm engine, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 20 seconds. When it is performed, the ECM deliberately sets the air fuel ratio to lean or rich levels. If the rich-lean cycle of the heated oxygen sensor is long, the oxygen storage capacity is large. There is a direct correlation between the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter and the response of the heated oxygen sensor.
The ECM uses the oxygen storage capacity value to determine the state of the three-way catalytic converter. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
This system determines the deterioration of the entire catalyst system (including the front and rear catalysts), by using the oxygen storage capacity value of the front catalyst, that is more sensitive than the rear catalyst, as the representative value. Therefore, be sure to replace the front and rear catalysts together when catalyst replacement is necessary.

The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic). Purge VSV stuck closed In operation D, the canister pressure sensor measures the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system pressure. The pressure measurement for the purge VSV monitor begins when the purge VSV is turned on (open) after the EVAP leak check. When the measured pressure indicates an increase of 0.3 kPa(gauge) [2.25 mmHg(gauge)] or more, the purge VSV is functioning normally. If the pressure does not increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
- PURGE FLOW MONITOR The purge flow monitor consists of 2 monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
- The 1st monitor While the engine is running and the purge VSV is on (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.
- The 2nd monitor The vent valve is turned on (closed) and the EVAP pressure is then measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.15 kPa(gauge) [1.13 mmHg(gauge)], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, and illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0441 (2 trip detection logic).
Atmospheric pressure check
In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.

To reduce hydrocarbons (HC) emissions, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed through the canister to the intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.
The ECM changes the duty signal to the purge VSV so that the intake quantity of hydrocarbons (HC) emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.

- DTC P0451: Canister pressure sensor abnormal voltage fluctuation or being constant If the canister pressure sensor voltage output fluctuates rapidly for 10 seconds, the ECM stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM interprets this as the canister pressure sensor voltage fluctuating, and stops the EVAP system monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. Alternatively, if the sensor voltage output does not change for 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as the sensor being stuck, and stops the monitor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC. (Both the malfunctions are detected by 2 trip detection logic.)
- DTC P0452: Canister pressure sensor voltage low If the canister pressure sensor voltage output (pressure) is below 0.45 V: 42.11 kPa(abs) [315.85 mmHg(abs)], the ECM interprets this as an open or short circuit in the canister pressure sensor or its circuit, and stops the EVAP system monitor.

This monitor will run when the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). The DTC will be stored after the engine idles for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).
The DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of less than 50°C (122°F), the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow during engine idling. If the accumulated mass air flow does not reach the specified level within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction. The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2 trip detection logic).

If the ECM detects the starter (STA) signal while the vehicle is being driven, it determines that there is a malfunction in the STA circuit. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
This monitor runs when the vehicle is driven at 20 km/h (12.43 mph) or more for over 20 seconds.

The ECM monitors the output voltage to the throttle actuator. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. The output voltage is usually 0 V when the ignition switch is turned off. If the output voltage is higher than 7 V when the ignition switch is turned off, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC when the ignition switch is turned ON.

| P0705 | (A) Any 2 or more of the following signals are on simultaneously (2 trip detection logic): P input signal is on. N input signal is on. R input signal is on. D input signal is on. (B) Any of the following conditions is met for 2.0 seconds or more in the S position (2 trip detection logic): NSW input signal is on. P input signal is on. N input signal is on. R input signal is on. (C) All switches are off simultaneously for NSW, P, R, N and D.

These DTCs indicate a problem with the park/neutral position switch assembly and the wire harness in the park/neutral position switch assembly circuit.
The park/neutral position switch assembly detects the shift lever position and sends a signal to the ECM.
For safety, the park/neutral position switch assembly detects the shift lever position so that the engine can be started only when the shift lever is in P or N.
The park/neutral position switch assembly sends a signal to the ECM according to the shift lever position (P, R, N, D, or S). The ECM determines that there is a problem with the switch or related parts if it receives more than 1 position signal simultaneously. The ECM will turn on the MIL and store the DTC.
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling, while driving with the lock-up torque converter clutch on, when brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the ECM. Then the ECM cancels the operation of the lock-up clutch while braking is in progress.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0724 | Stop light switch assembly remains on even when vehicle is driven in GO (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) and STOP (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) pattern 5 times (2 trip detection logic) | Short in stop light switch assembly signal circuit Stop light switch assembly ECM |
This DTC indicates that the stop light switch assembly remains on. When the stop light switch assembly remains on during "stop and go" driving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly and the MIL comes on and the ECM stores the DTC. The vehicle must stop (less than 3 km/h (1.86 mph)) and go (30 km/h (18.65 mph) or more) 5 times during 2 driving cycles, in order to detect a malfunction.
P1603
After starting the engine, this DTC is stored when the engine stops without the ignition switch being operated.
Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
It is necessary to check if the vehicle has run out of fuel in the past before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when the engine stalls due to running out of fuel.

P1605
This DTC is stored if the engine speed drops below the set speed.
Using the Techstream, the conditions present when the DTC was stored can be confirmed by referring to the freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction occurs. This information can be useful when troubleshooting.
It is necessary to check if the vehicle has run out of fuel in the past before performing troubleshooting, as this DTC is also stored when idling is unstable due to running out of fuel.
