P1089, P1092 VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000005237454

VVEL control shaft position sensor (1) is placed on VVEL actuator
sub assembly and detects the control shaft position angle.
A magnet is pressed into the arm on the edge of control shaft.
The magnetic field changes as the magnet rotates together with the
arm resulting in the output voltage change of the sensor.
VVEL control module detects the actual position angle through the
voltage change and sends the signal to ECM.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE:
If DTC P1089 or P1092 is displayed with DTC P1608, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P1608.
Refer to 

EC-1067, "DTC Logic"

.

Trouble diagnosis name

DTC detecting condition

Possible cause

P1089

VVEL control shaft position 
sensor (bank 1) circuit

• An excessively low voltage from the sensor 

is sent to VVEL control module.

• An excessively high voltage from the sensor 

is sent to VVEL control module.

• Rationally incorrect voltage is sent to VVEL 

control module compared with the signals 
from VVEL control shaft position sensor 1 
and VVEL control shaft position sensor 2.

• Harness or connectors

(VVEL control shaft position sensor 
circuit is open or shorted.)

• VVEL control shaft position sensor
• VVEL control module

P1092

VVEL control shaft position 
sensor (bank 2) circuit

3.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

Check the following.
• Harness connectors F10, E10
• Harness for open or short between VVEL control shaft position sensor and VVEL control module

>> Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

4.

CHECK VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect VVEL control module harness connector.

3.

Check the continuity between VVEL control shaft position sensor harness connector and VVEL control
module harness connector.

4.

Also check harness for short to ground and power.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 6.

NO

>> GO TO 5.

5.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

Check the following.
• Harness connectors F10, E10
• Harness for open or short between VVEL control shaft position sensor and VVEL control module

>> Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

6.

VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT

1.

Check the continuity between VVEL control shaft position sensor harness connector and VVEL control
module harness connector.
