DTC

P0016

Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)

DTC

P0018

Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 2 Sensor A)

DESCRIPTION

In the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system, the appropriate intake valve open and close timing is controlled by the ECM. The ECM performs intake valve control by performing the following: 1) controlling the camshaft and camshaft timing oil control valve, and operating the camshaft timing gear; and 2) changing the relative positions of the gaps between the camshaft and crankshaft.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0016

Deviation in crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor 1 (for bank 1) signal

(2 trip detection logic)

  • Mechanical system (Timing belt has jumped tooth or belt stretched)
  • OCV
  • OCV filter
  • Intake camshaft timing tube assembly
  • ECM

P0018

Deviation in crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor 2 (for bank 2) signal

(2 trip detection logic)

  • Mechanical system (Timing belt has jumped tooth or belt stretched)
  • OCV
  • OCV filter
  • Intake camshaft timing tube assembly
  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learning value while the engine is idling. The VVT learning value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learning value is out of the specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC P0016 (for bank 1) or P0018 (for bank 2).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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 P0016 OR P0018)

(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 DTCs.

2.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OCV)

HINT:

If the VVT system can be operated through the Active Test, it can be assumed that the VVT system is operating normally.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Start the engine.

(c) Turn the Techstream ON.

(d) Warm up the engine.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1) or Control the VVT System (Bank 2) / All Data / VVT Change Angle (Bank 1) or VVT Change Angle (Bank 2).

(f) Perform the Active Test. Check that the displacement angle varies.

OK:

Varies

OK

7.

CONFIRM WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream ON.

(d) Clear the DTC 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR (2008 Sequoia) .

(e) Start the engine and warm it up.

(f) Switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode using the Techstream 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: CHECK MODE PROCEDURE (2008 Sequoia) .

(g) Drive the vehicle in an urban area for approximately 10 minutes.

(h) Read DTCs using the Techstream.

OK:

No DTC is output.
