Detection Condition
DTC is set when Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects high voltage from VTCS solenoid valve with VTCS solenoid valve on. PCM determines that VTCS solenoid valve has malfunction under following conditions:
- Engine speed is above 3500 RPM.
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is below 158°F (70°C).
This is a continuous monitor (CCM). MIL illuminates if PCM detects malfunction condition in 2 consecutive drive cycles. Pending code is available if PCM detects malfunction conditions during first drive cycle. Freeze Frame Data is available and DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
