P0010
DTC P0010: VTC Oil Control Solenoid Valve Malfunction1. Reset the ECM/PCM.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
3. Test-drive at a steady speed between 20 - 40 mph (30 - 60 km/h) for 10 minutes.
Is DTC P0010 indicated?
YES - Go to step 4.
NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and at the ECM/PCM.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Disconnect the ECM/PCM connector B (24P).
6. Measure resistance between ECM/PCM connector terminal B1 and B23.
Is there 6.75 - 8.25 Ohm?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Disconnect the VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector.
8. Measure resistance between VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P terminal No. 1 and No. 2.
Is there 6.75 - 8.25 Ohm?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Replace the VTC oil control solenoid valve.
9. Connect VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2 to body ground with a jumper wire individually.
10. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminals B1, B23, and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (B1, B23) and the VTC oil control solenoid valve.
11. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminals B1 and B23 and body ground individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 12.
NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.
12. Disconnect the VTC oil control solenoid valve 2P connector.
13. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminals B1 and B23 and body ground individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (B1, B23) and the VTC oil control solenoid valve.
NO - Replace the VTC oil control solenoid valve.
