DTC Confirmation Procedure

WARNING

!

 

• When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic 

accident and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

• Road test should be carried out by 2 persons, a driver and tester, on a level road.

 

NOTE
Check to make sure that the following conditions are satisfied when using this “DTC Confirmation 
Procedure”.
• altitude (barometric pressure): 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)

 

1) Clear DTC. Refer to “DTC Clearance”.
2) Start engine and drive vehicle under usual driving condition for 5 minutes or longer until engine is warmed up to 

normal operating temperature.

3) Stop vehicle.
4) Run engine at idle speed for 1 minute.
5) Start vehicle and increase vehicle speed up to 80 km/h (50 mile/h).
6) Keep vehicle speed at 80 km/h (50 mile/h) for 1 minute or longer at 5th gear position.
7) Decrease vehicle speed gradually.
8) Stop vehicle and turn OFF ignition switch.
9) Repeat Step 4) to 7) one time.

10) Stop vehicle.

11) Check DTC. Refer to “DTC Check”.

9

Oil control valve check
Check oil control valve referring to “Oil Control Valve 
Inspection: For M16A Engine with VVT in Section 1D”.

Is resistance within specified value?

Substitute a known-
good ECM and recheck.

Faulty oil control valve.

sludge.

Are they in good condition?

Go to Step 7.

Clean oil control valve 
and oil gallery pipe. 
Replace oil control valve 
if a problem is not 
solved after cleaning oil 
control valve and oil 
gallery pipe.

Oil control valve electrical circuit check
1) Check that oil control valve circuit is in good condition 

referring to “DTC P0010: Camshaft Position Actuator 
Circuit (For M16 Engine)”.

Is circuit in good condition?

Repair circuit.
