DESCRIPTION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, OCV and VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine operating conditions such as the intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature. The ECM controls the OCV, based on the signals transmitted by several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the exhaust camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As a result, the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft are optimized, the engine torque and fuel economy improve, and the exhaust emissions decrease under overall driving conditions. The ECM detects the actual exhaust valve timing using signals from the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors, and performs feedback control. This is how the target intake valve timing is verified by the ECM.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the VVT system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the OCV and the VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.
After the ECM sends the target duty-cycle signal to the OCV, the ECM monitors the OCV current to establish an actual duty-cycle. The ECM determines the existence of a malfunction and sets the DTC when the actual duty-cycle ratio varies from the target duty-cycle ratio.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
1 PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATE OCV)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the tester on.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT CTRL B1 or VVT CTRL B2.
(e) Check the engine speed while operating the Oil Control Valve (OCV) using the tester.
OK
CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
2 INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the C26 or C25 camshaft timing oil control valve (OCV) connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
(c) Reconnect the OCV connector.
REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING OIL CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (See page ES-486)
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (OCV - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the C25 or C26 camshaft timing oil control valve (OCV) connector.
(b) Disconnect the E11 ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
Standard resistance (Check for short)
(d) Reconnect the ECM connector.
(e) Reconnect the OCV connector.
REPLACE ECM (See page ES-498)
