CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Conditions:

Oscilloscope Waveform:

The VVT sensor (G signal) consists of a magnet and MRE element.

The exhaust camshaft has 3 teeth on its inner circumference. When the camshaft gear rotates, the air gap changes between the protrusion on the gear and the pickup coil. The change affects the magnetic field, resulting in a change in the resistance of the MRE element. The crankshaft angle sensor plate has 34 teeth and outputs 34 signals every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signal, actual crankshaft angle and engine speed by an NE signal.

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

Component Operating Range:

If no signal is transmitted by the VVT sensor despite the engine revolving, or the rotations of the camshaft and the crankshaft are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
