P0010



S : P0010, P1384. VVT RH.

S1 : CHECK THE RH VVT SOLENOID RESISTANCE
1. Disconnect the RH VVT solenoid electrical connector, PI16.
2. Measure the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the RH VVT solenoid.

Is the resistance 8 ohms?

Yes

Goto S2

No
Install a new RH VVT solenoid. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

S2 : CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE RH VVT SOLENOID.
1. Disconnect the RH VVT solenoid electrical connector, PI16.
2. Measure the resistance between the RH VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16, pin 2 (B) and GROUND.

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

Goto S3

No
Repair the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16, pin 2 (B) and GROUND. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

S3 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE.
1. Measure the resistance between VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16 pin 1 (Y) and PCM electrical connector PI01 pin 109 (Y)

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

Goto S4

No
Repair the circuit between VVT solenoid electrical connector PI16, pin 1 (Y) and PCM electrical connector PI01 pin 109 (Y) For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

S4 : CHECK FOR SHORT TO GROUND AT THE VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE
1. Disconnect the PCM electrical connector, PI01.
2. Measure the resistance between PI16, pin 1 (Y) 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 S5

S5 : CHECK FOR SHORT TO BATTERY AT THE VVT SOLENOID SIGNAL WIRE
1. TURN the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Check for a voltage at PI16, pin 1 (Y)

Is the voltage greater than 5 volts?

Yes

Repair the short circuit. For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Goto S6

S6 : CHECK RESISTANCE OF THE VVT SOLENOID.
1. Check the resistance between pins 1 and 2 of the RH VVT solenoid.

Is the resistance 8.0 ohms?

Yes

Install a new PCM. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Install a new RH VVT solenoid. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
