Component Location

General Description
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.
DTC Description
When the enable condition is satisfied, The PCM checks that CCV outputs (Voltage level) are observed when OCVs are commanded. When a OCV output failure is detected, the appropriate fail counter is incremented.
If the failure threshold is exceeded 5 seconds during one diagnostic test(10second), the test is failed and DTC is stored. MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till consecutive 2 driving cycle.

Schematic Diagram

Signal Waveform And Data

The oil control valve is commanded by a pulse-width-modulated signal from the engine control unit. A duty cycle of zero commands the cam phaser to its default position. A duty cycle of 100% commands the phaser to its maximum phased position. When the phaser must be controlled to an intermediate position, the duty cycle is maintained in the region of the ‘hold position'. This is a medium duty cycle, usually between 35% and 65%, depending on temperature and voltage conditions.
Monitor DTC Status
1.
Check DTC Status
(1)
Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).
(2)
IG "ON".
(3)
Select "DTC" button, and then Press "DTC Status" to check DTC's information from the DTCs menu.
(4)
Read "DTC Status" parameter.

(5)
Is parameter displayed "Present fault"?

▶ Go to "Terminal and connector inspection" procedure.

▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM's connector or was repaired and PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, ending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Terminal And Connector Inspection
1.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminal condition. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3.
Has a problem been found?

▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

▶ Go to " Power Circuit Inspection " procedure.

Power Circuit Inspection
■ Check Voltage
1.
IG "OFF" & Disconnect OCV(B2) connector.
2.
IG "ON" & ENG "OFF".
3.
Measure voltage between power terminal of OCV(B2) harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : B+

4.
Is the measured voltage within specification ?

▶ Go to "Control Circuit Inspection " procedure.

▶ Check fuse between Main Relay and OCV is open or not installed.
▶ Check open in power circuit between Main Relay and OCV power circuit.
▶ Repair or repalce as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Control Circuit Inspection
■ Check Short To Ground In Harness
1.
IG "OFF" and disconnect OCV connector.
2.
Measure resistance between control terminal of OCV harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : Infinite

3.
Is the measured resistance within specification ?

▶ Go to "Check open in harness" as follows

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

■ Check Open In Harness
1.
IG "OFF" and disconnect OCV and PCM connector.
2.
Measure resistance between control terminal of OCV harness connector and OCV control terminal of PCM harness connector.

Specification : Approx. below 1Ω

3.
Is the measured resistance within specification ?

▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

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

Component Inspection
■ 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 "OCV 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.

■ OCV Actuation Test
1.
Connect scantool and IG "ON"
2.
Select "OCV" on the Actuation Test
3.
Activate "OCV" by pressing "STRT(F1)" key
(should hear a faint click from Oil Control solenoid Valve)
4.
Repeat this procedure 4 or 5 times to ensure intake valve control solenoid reliability.

5.
Does OCV generate click sound during acutation test ?

▶ Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM. Before or after testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others.

▶ 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.

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.
