When idling can be continued

If simulation function of M-MDS is used: 

  1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  2. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  3. Verify that DTC P2090:00 or P2091:00 is displayed. (See DTC INSPECTION .)
  4. Start the engine and let it idle.
  5. Access the simulation item [VLV_TIMING_DSD_EX] using the M-MDS. (See SIMULATION INSPECTION .)
  6. Increase the OCV duty value and verify that the engine idles rough or stalls.
  7. Remove the OCV while the connector is connected. (Refer to OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
  8. Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
  9. Access the simulation item [VLV_TIMING_DSD_EX] using the M-MDS. (See SIMULATION INSPECTION .)
  10. Increase the OCV duty value and verify that the spool valve operates in the retard direction.
    • If as specified, inspect the following hydraulic passage for restriction and/or leakage:
      • Oil pressure switch-OCV
      • OCV-Camshaft
      • Camshaft internal passage
    • If not as specified, inspect the following:
  11. If they are normal, replace the hydraulic variable valve timing actuator. (Refer to ELECTRIC VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR, HYDRAULIC VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)

If simulation function of M-MDS is not used: 

  1. Disconnect the OCV connector. (Refer to OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
  2. Warm up the engine and idle it.
  3. Apply the battery voltage to the OCV and verify that the engine idles rough or stalls.
  4. Remove the OCV and perform the Spool Valve Operation Inspection. (Refer to [OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) INSPECTION ] in service information.)
    • If not as specified, inspect the following:
    • If as specified, inspect the following hydraulic passages for restriction or leakage or both:
      • Oil pressure switch-OCV
      • OCV-Camshaft
      • Camshaft internal passage
  5. If they are normal, replace the hydraulic variable valve timing actuator. (Refer to ELECTRIC VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR, HYDRAULIC VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] in service information.)
