8ZR-FXE ENGINE CONTROL SFI SYSTEM P034011 Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Bank 1 or Single Sensor Circuit Short to Ground
DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor (VV1 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistance Element).
The intake camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the intake camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals. The ECM uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection duration and injection timing.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
2 seconds or more after the power switch has been turned on (IG), if the output voltage of the camshaft position sensor is less than 0.3 V for 4 seconds or more, the ECM determines that the camshaft position sensor circuit is malfunctioning and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- HINT:
- ·
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
·When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) [A].
Turn the GTS on.
Wait for 5 seconds or more [B].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- ·
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
·If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Proceed to the next screen and enter the DTC to be checked.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System normal |
| ABNORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System abnormal |
| INCOMPLETE | ·
DTC judgment not completed ·
Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions |
- HINT:
- ·
If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
·If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
·If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] and [C] again.
·[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
·When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
- NOTICE:
- ·
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
·If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
- HINT:
- ·
If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, there may be a mechanical problem with the engine.
·Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
