Reading off the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC)

Engine control module (ECM)

Reading off the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC):
Note! When reading off the DTC status, other stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status will also be listed.

- Start the engine. Let it idle for at least 15 seconds.
- Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status. Check the status of the relevant diagnostic trouble code (DTC).





Was the status of the relevant diagnostic trouble code (DTC) permanent?

Yes - PERMANENT

No - INTERMITTENT

------------------------

PERMANENT - Checking the wiring

INTERMITTENT - Intermittent fault

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the wiring
Check the resistance between connector terminal #1 and terminal #2 on the camshaft reset valve. The resistance must be approximately 3.7 ohms.
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A12 and connector terminal #2 (on the camshaft reset valve). Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Remedy as necessary.

Other information:
- To connect the breakout box, see Connecting the breakout box Connecting the Breakout Box
- To access and replace the camshaft reset valve, see Variable valve timing solenoid, replacing Removal and Replacement
- With the ignition on and the reset valve connector disconnected, the voltage at connector #1 must be approximately Ubat and at connector terminal #2 it must be a pulse modulated signal with a peak voltage of approximately Ubat and with a frequency of approximately 250 Hz
- For information about signals, see Signal specification Signal Description / Specification.

Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Do you want to view the information again?

Yes - Attempt New Test

No - Fault Found

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine
- Check that the actual and desired values for the reset valve are approximately the same. Increase the engine speed slightly if required.









Is the function OK?

Yes - VERIFIED
