The ECM optimizes the exhaust valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the exhaust camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, cam timing oil control solenoid assembly (for exhaust camshaft), camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve [for exhaust camshaft]) and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly (for exhaust camshaft). The camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve [for exhaust camshaft]) is operated to control the oil pressure supplied to the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly based on this signal. The camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly can advance or retard the exhaust camshaft.
If the difference between the target and actual exhaust valve timing is large, and changes in the actual exhaust valve timing are small, the ECM interprets this as the VVT controller stuck malfunction and stores a DTC.
Example:
DTC P001400 is stored when the following conditions are met:
It takes 5 seconds or more for exhaust valve timing to change 5 deg(CA).
After the malfunction condition above has been detected, the same condition continues 60 seconds or more.
DTC P001500 is stored when the following conditions are met:
It takes 5 seconds or more for exhaust valve timing to change 5 deg(CA).
After the malfunction condition above has been detected, the same condition continues 9.5 seconds or more.
DTC P001400 (Advanced Camshaft Timing) is subject to 2 trip detection logic.
DTC P001500 (Retarded Camshaft Timing) is subject to 1 trip detection logic.
These DTCs indicate that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly cannot operate properly due to a camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve [for exhaust camshaft]) malfunction or the presence of foreign matter in the camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve [for exhaust camshaft]).

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 ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher [B].
Drive the vehicle at approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [C].
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [D].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].
Read the pending DTCs.
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.
Input the DTC: P001400 or P001500.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System normal |
| ABNORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·

| INCOMPLETE | ·
DTC judgment not completed ·

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform steps [F] through [H].
[A] to [E]: 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 battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
Repeat the pattern of accelerating the vehicle from rest to approximately 60 km/h (37 mph) and then decelerating the vehicle 10 to 15 times [F].
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Depress the accelerator pedal by a large amount.
Idle the engine for 3 minutes or more [G].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [H].
Read the pending DTCs.
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Check the DTC judgment result again.
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
[A] to [H]: 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 battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
DTC P001400 or P001500 may be stored when foreign matter in the engine oil is caught in some parts of the system. The DTC will remain stored even if the system returns to normal after a short time. This foreign matter may then be captured by the oil filter.
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.
