P0011

DTC P0011 Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
DTC P0012 Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)

DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and the VVT controller. The ECM sends a target "duty-cycle" control signal to the OCV. This control signal, applied to the OCV, regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed based on engine operation condition such as intake air volume, throttle position and engine coolant temperature.

The ECM controls the OCV based on the signals from several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As a result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft is optimized, the engine torque and fuel economy improve, and exhaust emissions decrease. The ECM detects the actual valve timing using signals from the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM performs feedback control and verifies target valve timing.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Monitor Strategy:

Typical Enabling Conditions:

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

To monitor the VVT components, the ECM (PCM) measures the valve timing that is calculated by the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The valve timing is usually adjusted in accordance with the driving condition. If the valve timing variation is less than the malfunction criterion, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC. P0011 is set when the valve timing is in the valve timing advance range. P0012 is set when the valve timing is in valve timing retard range.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
