Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

P0011:00

With the preconditions met, the PCM verifies the conformity of the actual timing relative to the target valve timing. If it does not conform to the normal determination range (difference between target valve timing and actual valve timing is 15 degrees or less) during the malfunction determination period (approx. 10 s), even if the target valve timing is set to the retard side, the PCM determines an excess advance malfunction condition and stores a DTC.

P0012:00

With the preconditions met, the PCM verifies the conformity of the actual timing relative to the target valve timing. If it does not conform to the normal determination range (difference between target valve timing and actual valve timing is 15 degrees or less) during the malfunction determination period (approx. 10 s), even if the target valve timing is set to the advance side, the PCM determines an excess retard malfunction condition and stores a DTC.

Repeatability Verification Procedure

Warm up the engine to allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 80 °C {176 °F} or more.

NOTE:

Match the engine coolant temperature in the recorded FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data, the vehicle speed, and engine speed values to the best extent possible while driving the vehicle.

Try to reproduce the malfunction by driving the vehicle for 5 min based on the values in the FREEZE FRAME DATA/snapshot data.
