| 2. | Clear the DTC with the HDS. |
| 3. | Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm (min-1) without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle. |
| 4. | Do the VTC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS. |
| 5. | Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P0010 indicated? YES - Go to 6. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time.Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and the ECM/PCM.n |
| 6. | Turn the ignition switch OFF. |
| 7. | Disconnect the VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector. |
| 8. | Measure resistance between VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.
Is there 6.75-8.25 W at room temperature? YES - Go to 9. NO - Go to 14. |
| 9. | Check for continuity between VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there continuity? YES - Go to 10. NO - Repair open in the wire between the VTC oil control solenoid valve and G101, then go to 15. |
| 10. | Jump the SCS line with the HDS. |
| 11. | Disconnect ECM/PCM connector C (44P). |
| 12. | Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal C23 and body ground.
Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (C23) and the VTC oil control solenoid valve, then go to 15. NO - Go to 13. |
| 13. | Check for continuity between VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector terminal No. 2 and ECM/PCM connector terminal C23.
Is there continuity? YES - Go to 22. NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (C23) and the VTC oil control solenoid valve, then go to 15. |
| 14. | Replace the VTC oil control solenoid valve. |
| 15. | Reconnect all connectors. |
| 16. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II). |
| 17. | Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS. |
| 18. | Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. |
| 19. | Do the VTC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS. |
| 20. | Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? YES - If DTC P0010 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. NO - Go to 21. |
| 21. | Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0010 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. Does the screen indicate PASSED? YES - Troubleshooting is complete.n NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to 19 and recheck. |
| 22. | Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM. |
| 23. | Do the VTC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS. |
| 24. | Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? YES - If DTC P0010 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting. NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.n |
