DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE


1. PRECONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
1.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2.Turn ignition switch ON.
3.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- GO TO 2.

2. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.Perform "INSPECTION MODE 5". Description.
2.Start engine and let it idle for 5 seconds.
3.Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES- Proceed to .
NO- INSPECTION END


Diagnosis Procedure


1. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect exhaust valve timing (EVT) control solenoid valve harness connector.
3.Turn ignition switch ON.
4.Check the voltage between EVT control solenoid valve harness connector and ground.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 3.
NO- GO TO 2.

2. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

Check the following.
- Harness for open or short between EVT control solenoid valve and IPDM E/R
- Loose or poor connection for each connector and harness
- Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

3. CHECK EVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3.Check the continuity between EVT control solenoid valve harness connector and ECM harness connector.





4.Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 4.
NO- Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

4. CHECK EVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE

P0014.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 5.
NO- Replace malfunctioning EVT control solenoid valve. Exploded View.

5. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Intermittent Incident.
- INSPECTION END


Component Inspection (Exhaust Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve)


1. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE-I

1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2.Disconnect exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
3.Check resistance between exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve terminals as per the following.





Is the inspection result normal?
YES- GO TO 2.
NO- Replace malfunctioning exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Exploded View.

2. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE-II

1.Remove exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Exploded View.





2.Provide 12 V DC between exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve terminals 1 and 2, and then interrupt it. Check that the plunger moves as shown in the figure.

CAUTION:
Do not apply 12 V DC continuously for 5 seconds or more.
Doing so may result in damage to the coil in exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve.
NOTE:
Always replace O-ring when exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve is removed.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
NO- Replace malfunctioning exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Exploded View.
