When idling can be continued
- Disconnect the OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system connector. (See OCV For Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing System Removal/Installation .)
- Warm up the engine and idle it.
- Apply the battery voltage to the OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system and verify that the engine idles rough or stalls.
- If the engine idles rough or stalls, inspect the timing chain component (valve timing deviation). (See Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing Actuator Inspection .)
- If the engine does not idle rough or stalls, go to the next step.
- Remove the OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system and perform the Spool Valve Operation Inspection. (See OCV For Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing System Removal/Installation
.)
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
- OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system (See OCV For Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing System Inspection .)
- Harnesses and connectors between OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system and PCM have an open or short circuit
- If as specified, inspect the following hydraulic passages for restriction or leakage or both:
- Engine oil solenoid valve-OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system
- OCV for hydraulic variable valve timing system-Exhaust camshaft
- Exhaust camshaft internal passage
- If not as specified, inspect the following:
- If they are normal, replace the hydraulic variable valve timing actuator. (See Electric Variable Valve Timing Actuator, Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing Actuator Removal/Installation .)
