P0010

S : P0010, P1384. VVT BANK 1.

S1 : CHECK THE BANK 1 VVT SOLENOID RESISTANCE
1. Disconnect the bank 1 VVT solenoid electrical connector, PI16.
2. Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the bank 1 VVT solenoid.

Is the resistance 8 ohms?

Yes
Goto S2

No
Install a new bank 1 VVT solenoid. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

S2 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE BANK 1 VVT SOLENOID.
1. Disconnect the bank 1 VVT solenoid electrical connector, PI16.
2. Measure the resistance between the bank 1 VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16, pin 2 (B) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes
Goto S3

No
Repair the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16, pin 2 (B) and GROUND. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

S3 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE.
1. Measure the resistance between VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16 pin 1 (Y) and PCM electrical connector PI01 pin 109 (Y)
