R : P0010, P1384. VVT RIGHT-HAND BANK

R1 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE RIGHT-HAND BANK VVT SOLENOID

1. Disconnect the VVT solenoid electrical connector EN61.
2. Measure the resistance between the VVT solenoid electrical connector EN61 pin 2 (BG) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
Goto R2

No
REPAIR the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector EN61 pin 2 (BG) and GROUND. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

R2 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE RIGHT-HAND BANK VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE

1. Measure the resistance between VVT solenoid electrical connector EN61 pin 1 (RW) and PCM electrical connector EN16 pin 109 (RW).

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes
Goto R3

No
REPAIR the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector EN61 pin 1 (RW) and PCM electrical connector EN16 pin 109 (RW). For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

R3 : CHECK FOR SHORT TO GROUND AT THE RIGHT-HAND BANK VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE

1. Disconnect the PCM electrical connector EN16.
2. Measure the resistance between EN61 pin 1 (RW) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 10,000 ohms?
Yes
REPAIR the short to GROUND. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Goto R4

R4 : CHECK FOR SHORT TO BATTERY AT THE RIGHT-HAND BANK VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE

1. TURN the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Check for a voltage at EN61 pin 1 (RW).

Is the voltage greater than 1 volt?
Yes
REPAIR the short circuit. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
INSTALL a new right-hand bank VVT solenoid. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
