STEP 8. Check for harness damage between exhaust 
engine oil control valve connector B-01 (terminal No. 1) 
and ECM connector B-09 (terminal No. 17).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 10.

STEP 9. Check the trouble symptoms.
(1) Carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 20 

P.13A-9

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0013 set?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, ID Code 
Registration Necessity Judgment Table <Vehicles 
with KOS> 

P.42B-11

 or GROUP 42C, ID Codes 

Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with WCM> 

P.42C-9

. Then go to Step 10.

NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points − How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

STEP 10. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 20 

P.13A-9

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0013 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

DTC P0014: Exhaust Variable Valve Timing System Target Error

tem for malfunction.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

than the specified value.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

.

MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

Check Conditions

• More than 20 seconds have passed since the 

engine starting sequence was completed.

• Engine speed is 1,188 r/min or more.
• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 76° C 

(169° F).

Judgment Criterion

• The difference between the actual exhaust valve 

closing timing and the exhaust valve target clos-
ing timing is more than 5 degrees for 5 seconds.

.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION

• None

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Refer to Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive Cycle − 

Pattern 20

.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this code to be set are:)

• Exhaust engine oil control valve failed.
• Oil passage of variable valve timing control sys-

tem clogged.

• Exhaust variable valve timing sprocket operation 

mechanism stuck.

• ECM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools

• MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.
• MB991827: USB Cable
• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958, read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P0014 set?

YES : Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart 

P.13A-48

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check exhaust engine oil control valve itself.

• Check exhaust engine oil control valve itself (Refer to 

Engine Oil Control Valve Check 

P.13A-880

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 3. 
NO :  Replace exhaust engine oil control valve. Then go to 

Step 6.

STEP 3. Check oil passage of exhaust variable valve timing 
control system for being clogged.
Q: Is the check result normal? 

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 6.

STEP 4. Check exhaust variable valve timing sprocket 
operation mechanism for being stuck.
Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 6.
