INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY

(a)

Remove the timing belt.

(b)

Remove the cylinder head cover.

(c)

Remove the OCV.

(d)

Drain oil into the VVT controller assembly.

(e)

Check whether the oil into VVT controller assembly is drained or not.
Result: The oil into VVT controller assembly is drained.

REPLACE VVT CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY, AND
THEN GO TO NEXT STEP

OK

)

NG

REPLACE OCV, AND THEN GO TO NEXT STEP

OK

CHECK WHETHER OR NOT DTC P1349/P1354 IS STORED

(a)

Clear the DTC (See page

05-5

).

(b)

Perform simulation test.

(c)

Check whether or not DTC P1349/P1354 is stored.
Result: DTC P1349/P1354 is not stored.

HINT:
DTCs P1349 and P1354 are also output after the foreign object is caught in some part of the system in the
engine oil and the system returns to normal in a short time. As ECM controls so that foreign objects are
ejected, there is no problem about VVT. There is also no problem since the oil filter should get the foreign
object in the engine oil.

P1350

VVT SENSOR/CAMSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION(BANK2)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

VVT sensor RH consists of a core and a pick up coil.
On the signal plate for VVT signal, there are three convex on its outer circumference and it is fixed to the
camshaft timing gear.
When the camshaft turns, the convex of the signal plate and the air-gap over the pick up coil will switch, and
with this the magnetic field will change and generate electricity inside the pick up coil. In addition, VVT sensor
LH adopts a sensor using a signal plate and a magnetic resistance element. By switching the air-gap of the
signal plate and the sensor, ECM voltage will be converted to a rectangular move and output as a signal.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

If DTC P1350 is displayed, check right bank VVT sensor (Crank position sensor No.1).

Read freeze frame data using hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for deter-
mining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio
was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
