DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC	CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content)	DTC detection condition
P34AF	A camshaft posi actuator posi sens B1 A camshaft position actuator position sensor Bank 1	Diagnosis condition	—
		Signal (terminal)	Electric intake valve timing control position sensor signal
		Threshold	An excessively low voltage from the sensor is sent to the electric IVT control module
		Diagnosis delay time	1 second or more

POSSIBLE CAUSE
