HINT:
This DTC relates to the Oil Control Valve (OCV).
DESCRIPTION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes the ECM, OCV and VVT controller. The ECM sends a
ES 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 intake 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 intake 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 intake 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 intake 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.

HINT:
• If DTC P0010 is displayed, check the bank 1 VVT system circuit.
• Bank 1 refers to the bank that include cylinder No. 1.
• If DTC P0020 is displayed, check the bank 2 VVT system circuit.
• Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not includes cylinder No. 1.
• Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record 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.
1 PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATE OCV)
(a) Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
(c) Warm up the engine.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / VVT CTRL B1 or
VVT CTRL B2.
