The CVVT (Continuously
Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the
intake camshaft. This system controls the intake camshaft to provide the
optimal valve timing. The PCM controls the Oil Control Valve(OCV), based
on the signals output from mass air flow, throttle position and engine
coolant temperature. The CVVT controller regulates the intake camshaft
angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position
between the camshaft and the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine
torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease under
overall driving conditions.
PCM monitors CAM
phaser error while CMP signal is normally generating and vehicle is
driving in 2000 ~ 3000rpm .If the CAM phaser does not move although PCM
commands OCV duty cycle PCM determines that a faultexists and a DTC is
stored.

This example shows a
typical Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) and Camshaft Position Sensor
(CMPS) waveform at idle. If the 17th signal of the CKPS after missing
tooth is aligned with the high signal of the CMPS at idle, PCM recognizes
that Synchronization between CKPS and CMPS is completed.

Check DTC Status
(1) |
Connect scantool to Data Link
Connector(DLC). |
(3) |
Select "DTC" button, and then Press
"DTC Status" to check DTC'sinformation from the DTCs
menu. |
(4) |
Read "DTC Status"
parameter.

|
(5) |
Is parameter displayed "Present
fault"?

|
▶ Go to
"System Inspection" procedure.
|

|
▶ Fault is
intermittent caused by PCM memory was not cleared after
repair. Erase DTC and drive the vehicle to satisfy the
enable condition then, go to " System Inspection"
procedure.
|
| |
■
Visual Inspection
1. |
Check oil level is
O.K. |
2. |
Check for contamination of engine oil and
OCV. |
3. |
Has a problem been found?

|
▶ Repair or replace
as necessary and then, go to " Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|

|
▶ Go to "Component
Inspection"
procedure.
|
|
■
Check OCV resistance
1. |
IG "OFF" and disconnect OCV
connector. |
2. |
Measure resistance between power and signal
terminals of OCV. (Component Side)
Specification :
6.7 ~ 7.7 Ω
| |
3. |
Is the measured resistance within
specification ?

|
▶ Go to "Check CAM
PHASER with actuation test" as follows.
|

|
▶ Substitute with a
known - good OCV and check for proper
operation. If the problem is
corrected, replace OCV and go to "Verification of Vehicle
Repair"
procedure.
|
|
■
Check Cam Phaser with actuation test
1. |
Connect scantool and IG
"ON". |
2. |
Select "CAM PHASER INTAKE BANK 2" on the
Actuation Test. |
3. |
Select "OIL CONTROL VALVE" on the Actuation
Test. |
4. |
Activates "CAM PHASER INTAKE BANK 2" by
pressing "STRT(F1)" key. |
5. |
Activates "OIL CONTROL VALVE" by pressing
"STRT(F1)" key. |
6. |
Repeat this procedure 4 or 5 times to ensure
CAM PHASER and intake valve control solenoid
reliability.

|
7. |
Has a problem been found ?

|
▶ Substitute with a
known - good CVVT or OCV and check for proper
operation. If the problem is
corrected, replace CVVT or OCV and go to "Verification of
Vehicle Repair" procedure.
|

|
▶ Fault is
intermittent. Drive the vehicle to meet the enable condition
for the DTC. and Go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|
|
Verification Of Vehicle
Repair |
After a repair, it is
essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. |
Connect scantool and select "DTC"
button. |
2. |
Press "DTC Status" button and confirm that
"DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Completed". If not, drive the
vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable
conditions |
3. |
Read "DTC Status"
parameter. |
4. |
Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present)
fault"?

|
▶ System performing
to specification at this time. Clear the DTC
|

|
▶ Go to the
applicable troubleshooting
procedure.
