P0011
1AR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P0011, P0012: Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0010 P0010.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
- The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and the VVT controller (camshaft timing gear assembly). The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake camshaft.
- If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is large, and changes in the actual intake valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.
- Example:
- A DTC is set when the following conditions 1 and 2 are met:
- 1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA.
- 2. After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated 10 seconds.
- DTC P0011 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.
- DTC P0012 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.
- These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

18. Check the DTC judgment result again.
HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform the following procedure.
19. Perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
HINT

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT
- DTC P0011 or P0012 may be stored when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain set even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Those foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0011 OR P0012)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Result:
