- Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-359, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING (EVT) CONTROL POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect exhaust valve timing (EVT) control position sensor harness connector.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check the voltage between EVT control position sensor harness connector and ground.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK SENSOR POWER SUPPLY 2 CIRCUIT
Check sensor power supply 2 circuit. Refer to EC-444, "Diagnosis Procedure".
Is inspection result normal? YES >> Perform the trouble diagnosis for power supply circuit.
NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.
3.CHECK EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect ECM harness connector
- Check the continuity between EVT control position sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
- Also check harness for short to power.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.
4.CHECK EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT
- Disconnect ECM harness connector.
- Check the continuity between EVT control position sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
- Also check harness for short to ground and to power.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.
5.CHECK EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR
Check the EVT control position sensor. Refer to EC-360, "Component Inspection (EVT Control Position Sensor)".
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> Replace EVT control position sensor. Refer to EM-60, "Removal and Installation".
6.CHECK CAMSHAFT (EXT)
Check the following.
- Accumulation of debris to the signal plate of camshaft rear end
- Chipping signal plate of camshaft rear end
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Check intermittent incident. Refer to GI-39, "Intermittent Incident".
NO >> Remove debris and clean the signal plate of camshaft rear end or replace camshaft. Refer to EM-60, "Removal and Installation".
Component Inspection (EVT Control Position Sensor)
1.EXHAUST VALVE TIMING (EVT) CONTROL POSITION SENSOR-1
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect EVT control position sensor harness connector.
- Loosen the fixing bolt of the sensor.
- Remove EVT control position sensor.
- Visually check the sensor for chipping.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Replace EVT control position sensor. Refer to EM-60, "Removal and Installation".
2.EVT CONTROL POSITION SENSOR-2
Check resistance EVT control position sensor terminals as shown below.
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace EVT control position sensor. Refer to EM-60, "Removal and Installation".
