Component Location
General Description
The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the intake camshaft. This system
controls the intake camshaft to provide the optimal valve timing for every driving condition. The ECM controls the Oil Control Valve
(OCV), based on the signals output from mass air flow, throttle position and engine coolant temperature. The CVVT controller
regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position between the camshaft and
the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease under
overall driving conditions.
DTC Description
ECM monitors CAM phaser error while CMP signal is normally generating and vehicle is driving in 2000 ~ 3000rpm.
If the CAM phaser does not move although ECM commands OCV duty cycle ECM determines that a faultexists and a DTC is
stored.
DTC Detecting Condition
Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy • Determines if the phaser is stuck or has steady-state error
• CAM signal is normally generating
Enable Conditions
• Vehicle is on driving (2000 ~ 3000RPM) for 5 minutes
• 5 CAD < Cam Actual Position < 50 CAD
Case 1
• Duty Cycle > 90% or Duty Cycle < 10% • Engine Oil
Threshold • Cam Position error > 15 CAD • OCV stuck
value (Difference between Actual Postion and Desire Position is • CVVT stuck
Case 2
more than 15°)
• Timing Counter > 80
Diagnosis Time • Continuous (within 5min.)
MIL On Condition • 2 Driving Cycles

Diagnostic Circuit Diagram
Signal Waveform & Data
Fig.1) Normal waveform of CKPS & EX-CMPS at idle.
Fig.2) Normal waveform of CKPS & EX-CMPS at acceleration.
Fig.3) Normal data of EX-CVVT at idle.
Fig.4) Normal data of EX-CVVT at acceleration.
Fig.5) Normal graph of EX-CVVT at acceleration.
This example shows a typical Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) and Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) waveform at idle.(Fig1.) If
the 17th signal of the CKPS after missing tooth is aligned with the high signal of the CMPS at idle, ECM recognizes that
Synchronization between CKPS and CMPS is completed. Under acceleracting condition, the number of tooth between missing
tooth and tooth aligned with edge of the CMPS high signal is increased than idle conditon.(Fig2.)
P0015 \\'B\\' Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded #Bank 1# > Scantool Diagnostics
Monitor Scantool Data
1. Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).
2. IG "ON".
3. Select "DTC" button, and then Press "DTC Status" to check DTC's information from the DTCs menu.
4. Read "DTC Status" parameter.
5. Is parameter displayed "Present fault"?
▶ Go to "System Inspection" procedure.
▶ Fault is intermittent caused by ECM memory was not cleared after repair. Erase DTC and drive the
vehicle to satisfy the enable codition then, go to " System Inspection" procedure.

Inspection
System Inspection
■ Visual Inspection
1. Check oil level is O.K.
2. Check Oil and OCV is contaminated.
3. Check that any oil leakage is occurred around OCV.
4. Has a problem been found ?
▶ Repair or replace as necessary and then, go to " Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

■ Check OCV resistance
1. IG "OFF" and disconnect OCV connector.
2. Measure resistance between power and signal terminals of OCV. (Component Side)
Specification : 6.7 ~ 7.7 Ω
3. Is the measured resistance within specification?
▶ Go to "Check CAM PHASER with actuation test" as follows.
▶ Substitute with a known - good OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace
OCV and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
■ Check CAM PHASER with actuation test
1. Connect scantool and IG "ON"
2. Select "CAM PHASER EXHAUST BANK 1" on the Actuation Test
3. Select "OIL CONTROL VALVE" on the Actuation Test
4. Activates "CAM PHASER EXHAUST BANK 1" by pressing "START" button
5. Activates "OIL CONTROL VALVE" by pressing "START" button
6. Repeat this procedure 4 or 5 times to ensure CAM PHASER and valve control solenoid reliability
7. Has a problem been found ?
▶ Substitute with a known - good CVVT or OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected,
replace CVVT or OCV and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Fault is intermittent. Drive the vehicle to meet the enable condition for the DTC. and Go to "Verification of
Vehicle Repair" procedure.
P0015 \\'B\\' Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded #Bank 1# > Verification of Vehicle Repair
Verification of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scantool and select "DTC" button.
2. Press "DTC Status" button and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Completed". If not, drive the vehicle within
conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions.
3. Read "DTC Status" parameter.
4. Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?
▶ System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC.
▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
