Toyota Venza: Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1) (P0011,P0012)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / 1ar-fe Engine Control / Sfi System / Camshaft Position "A" - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1) (P0011,P0012)

DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0010 (See page ).

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0011	The valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the advance range (1 trip detection logic).	Valve timing Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake camshaft) Oil control valve filter Camshaft timing gear assembly ECM
P0012	The valve timing is stuck at a certain value when in the retard range (2 trip detection logic).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM optimizes the intake valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly and the VVT controller (camshaft timing gear assembly). The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly. This control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake camshaft.
If the difference between the target and actual intake valve timing is large, and changes in the actual intake valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.

Example:
A DTC is set when the following conditions "A" and "B" are met:
1. It takes 5 seconds or more to change the valve timing by 5°CA (Condition "A").
2. After the above condition is met, the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is forcibly activated for 10 seconds (Condition "B").
DTC P0011 (Advanced Cam Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.
DTC P0012 (Retarded Cam Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.
These DTCs indicate that the VVT controller cannot operate properly due to camshaft timing oil control valve assembly malfunctions or the presence of foreign objects in the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly.

TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS

P0011: Advanced Camshaft Timing

Both of following conditions are met	-
Deviation of actual valve timing and target valve timing	More than 5°CA (Crankshaft Angle) for 5 seconds or more after the VVT hold duty ratio learned value reaches the upper or lower limit.
Valve timing	No change at advanced valve timing

P0012: Retarded Camshaft Timing

Both of following conditions are met	-
Deviation of actual valve timing and target valve timing	More than 5°CA (Crankshaft Angle) for 5 seconds or more after the VVT hold duty ratio learned value reaches the upper or lower limit.
Valve timing	No change at retarded valve timing

If the difference between the target and actual camshaft timing is greater than the specified value, the ECM operates the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly for 10 seconds by applying and releasing oil pressure. Then, the ECM monitors the camshaft timing change for 10 seconds.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

DTC P0011 or P0012 may be stored when foreign objects in the engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain set even if the system returns to normal after a short time. Those foreign objects may then be captured by the oil filter.
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
