DTC Troubleshooting (cont’d)

22. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0010 in the

DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Troubleshooting is complete.

If the screen indicates FAILED, go to step 1

and recheck. If the screen indicates NOT
COMPLETED, go to step 20 and recheck.

23. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest

software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM
(see page 11-6).

24. Do the VTC TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with

the HDS.

25. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

If DTC P0010 is indicated, check for poor

connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil
control solenoid valve and the ECM/PCM, then go
to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are
indicated, go to the indicated DTC’s
troubleshooting.

If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting

is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted,
replace the original ECM/PCM (see page 11-284).

Does the scr een indicate PASSED?

Ar e any T empor ar y DT Cs or DT Cs indicated?

VTC System Malfunction

(2002-2004 models)

1. Reset the ECM/PCM (see page 11-4).

2. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at

3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on.

3. Test-drive at a steady speed between 20

40 mph

(30

60 km/h) for 10 minutes.

4. Check for Temporary DTC P0011 with a scan tool or

the HDS.

Go to step 5.

Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time.

Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the VTC oil control solenoid valve and the ECM/
PCM.

5. Watch the low oil pressure indicator.

Check the oil pressure (see page 8-7).

Go to step 6.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

7. Remove the power steering pump (see page 17-14)

and the auto-tensioner (see page 4-45).

8. Remove the VTC strainer (A), and check it for

clogging.

Go to step 9.

Clean the VTC strainer, and replace the

engine oil filter and the engine oil.

9. Check the VTC oil control solenoid valve (see page

11-321).

Go to step 10.

Clean the ports of the VTC oil control solenoid

valve, or replace the VTC oil control solenoid valve
(see page 11-321).

10. Install the VTC strainer and the VTC oil control

solenoid valve.

11. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 700

1,000 rpm.

12. Connect ECM/PCM connector terminals A3 and B1

with a jumper wire.

Test-drive at a steady speed between

40 mph (30

60 km/h) for 10 minutes.

If temporary DTC P0011 is indicated, update the
ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-6),
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away
with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original
ECM/PCM (see page 11-284).

Go to step 13.

13. Check the VTC actuator (see page 6-10).

Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the

latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/
PCM (see page 11-6), then recheck. If the symptom/
indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM,
replace the original ECM/PCM (see page 11-284).

Replace the VTC actuator.
