DTC P1384


DTC P1384	Variable valve timing control system malfunction
DETECTION CONDITION	• The PCM cannot control the valve timing toward the target valve timing during the KOER self-test.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	• Oil control valve (OCV) malfunction • Variable valve timing control actuator malfunction • CMP sensor malfunction • CMP sensor improper operation • Lack off CMP sensor pulse wheel protrusion (on intake-side camshaft) • Valve timing the adjustment


STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY • Check for related service information availability. • Is any related Service Information available?	Yes	Perform the repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, then go to Step 9.
1		No	Go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED PENDING OR STORED DTCS • Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (Engine off). • The Verify pending code or stored DTCs using WDS or equivalent. • Is DTC P0010, P0011, or P0012 present?	Yes	Perform applicable DTC troubleshooting.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION • Perform the Variable Valve Timing Control System Inspection. (See Variable Valve Timing Control System Operation Inspection, Variable Valve Timing Control System Operation Inspection.) • Does the variable valve timing control system function properly?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair or replace malfunctioning parts according to inspection result, then go to Step 9.
4	INSPECT CMP SENSOR INSTALLATION CONDITION • Inspect the CMP sensor for the followings: - CMP sensor installation condition - Foreign material on CMP sensor - CMP sensor pulse wheel condition (lack off protrusion) • Is the CMP sensor normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts, then go to Step 9.
5	INSPECT OCV (OIL CONTROL VALVE) • Inspect the OCV. (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY].) • Is the OCV normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Replace the OCV, then go to Step 9.
6	INSPECT VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR • Inspect the variable valve timing actuator. (See VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR INSPECTION [ZJ, ZY].) • Is the variable valve timing actuator normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Replace the variable valve timing actuator, then go to Step 9.
7	INSPECT HYDRAULIC PASSAGE FOR VALIABLE VALVE CONTROL SYSTEM • Inspect the following hydraulic passages for clogging and/or leakage. - Oil pressure switch - OCV - OCV - camshaft - Camshaft internal passage • Is there any clogging and/or leakage?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning parts, then go to Step 9.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	INSPECT VALVE TIMING • Inspect the valve timing. (Verify that the timing mark is within the specification. (See TIMING CHAIN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [ZJ, ZY].) • Is the valve timing normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
8		No	Adjust the valve timing properly.
9	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P1384 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. • Perform the KOER self-test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF-TEST.) • Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
9		No	Go to the next step.
10	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE.) • Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE.)
10		No	Troubleshooting completed.
