- When Monitored:
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) rationality is monitored under the following conditions: (1) Cam phasing is commanded off of the default
(lockpin) position; (2) Oil temperature is between -12° C to 139° C (10° F to 282° F); (3) Battery voltage is greater than 10 volts; (3) Engine
speed is at least 650 to 1400 rpm, depending on oil temperature; (4) No CMP sensor, CKP sensor, or OBDI plausibility errors. Before VVT
can be enabled, reference adaptation must be completed.

- Set Condition:
The actual camshaft phasing position does not match the desired camshaft phasing position during camshaft phasing position changes.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Theory of Operation

Dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) allows the PCM to monitor and adjust the position of each camshaft, based on desired torque levels and engine
operating conditions. The PCM controls two solenoid operated control valves, one for each camshaft, that are used to direct oil pressure to
hydraulic actuators mounted between each camshaft and its driving sprocket. The oil pressure alters the angular position or phasing of each
camshaft relative to crankshaft rotation. A sensor is used to monitor the position of each camshaft.

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any CMP sensor or CKP sensor DTCs before continuing with this test.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any oil pressure or oil pressure sensor DTCs before continuing with this test.

Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan.
Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.

With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Test drive the vehicle under the conditions in which the DTC is monitored, as outlined above.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Go to 2

No

2. CAMSHAFT 1/2 POSITION SOLENOID/OIL CONTROL VALVE INSPECTION

Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Camshaft 1/2 Position Solenoid/Oil Control Valve. Do not disconnect the harness connector.
Perform a visual inspection of the open part of the solenoid (spool valve) for the presence of any debris (metallic or non-metallic).

NOTE: If contamination is observed, the Camshaft 1/2 Position Solenoid/Oil Control Valve must be replaced. After replacing the valve,
verify that the engine oil has been replaced with the appropriate oil.

Were any problems found?

Yes

- Replace the Camshaft 1/2 Position Solenoid/Oil Control Valve.

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, actuate the Camshaft 1/2 Position Solenoid/Oil Control Valve.
Perform a visual inspection of the spool valve for erratic movement or sticking during the forward and reverse stroke.

NOTE: If sticking or erratic movement is observed, the Camshaft 1/2 Position Solenoid/Oil Control Valve must be replaced. After
replacing the valve, verify that the engine oil has been replaced with the appropriate oil.
