ADDITIONAL WIRING

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article(s).

THEORY OF OPERATION

Dual Variable Valve Timing (VVT) allows the PCM to monitor and adjust the position of each camshaft, based
on desired torque levels and engine operating conditions. The PCM controls two solenoid operated control
valves, one for each camshaft, that are used to direct oil pressure to hydraulic actuators mounted between each
camshaft and its driving sprocket. The oil pressure alters the angular position or phasing of each camshaft
relative to crankshaft rotation. A sensor is used to monitor the position of each camshaft.

MONITOR CONDITIONS

When Monitored:

Variable Valve Timing (VVT) rationality is monitored under the following conditions: (1) Cam phasing
is commanded; (2) Oil temperature is between -12° C to 139° C (10° F to 282° F); (3) Battery voltage is
greater than 10 volts; (3) Engine speed is at least 650 to 1400 RPM, depending on oil temperature; (4) No
CMP sensor, CKP sensor, or OBDI plausibility errors. Before VVT can be enabled, reference adaptation
must be completed.

SET CONDITIONS

Set Condition:

The actual camshaft phasing position does not match the desired camshaft phasing position during
camshaft phasing position changes.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Possible Causes
ENGINE OIL DIRTY OR CONTAMINATED
INCORRECT ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
(F343) FUSED MAIN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE
(K276) CMP 1/2 CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
CAMSHAFT 1/2 POSITION SOLENOID/OIL CONTROL VALVE
CAMSHAFT 1/2 PHASER
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. See DTC-Based
Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
