POSSIBLE CAUSE	• Electric variable valve timing motor/driver connectors or terminals malfunction • Short to ground or open circuit in electric variable valve timing relay power supply circuit (without i-ELOOP) ― Short to ground in wiring harness between MAIN 200 A fuse and electric variable valve timing relay terminal D ― MAIN 200 A fuse and/or EVVT 20 A fuse malfunction ― Open circuit in wiring harness between battery positive terminal and electric variable valve timing relay terminal D • Short to ground or open circuit in electric variable valve timing relay power supply circuit (with i-ELOOP) ― Short to ground in wiring harness between DC-DC converter (i-ELOOP) terminal 4A and electric variable valve timing relay terminal D ― EVVT 20 A fuse malfunction ― Open circuit in wiring harness between DC-DC converter (i-ELOOP) terminal 4A and electric variable valve timing relay terminal D • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals: ― Electric variable valve timing relay terminal C—Electric variable valve timing motor/driver terminal 1E ― Electric variable valve timing relay terminal C—Electric variable valve timing motor/driver terminal 2B • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals: ― Electric variable valve timing relay terminal C—Electric variable valve timing motor/driver terminal 1E ― Electric variable valve timing relay terminal C—Electric variable valve timing motor/driver terminal 2B • PCM connector or terminals malfunction • Electric variable valve timing relay malfunction • Electric variable valve timing motor malfunction • Electric variable valve timing actuator malfunction ― Electric variable valve timing actuator is stuck in advanced position ― Electric variable valve timing actuator is stuck in retarded position • Timing chain malfunction ― Poor assembly of timing chain ― Looseness or jumping • Mis-detection of intake CMP sensor • Mis-detection of CKP sensor • PCM malfunction

• With the preconditions met, the PCM verifies the conformity of the actual timing relative to the target valve timing. If it does not conform to the normal determination range (difference between target valve timing and actual valve timing is 15 degrees or less) during the malfunction determination period (approx. 10 s), even if the target valve timing is set to the retard side, the PCM determines an excess advance malfunction condition and stores a DTC.
