Does the engine turn over?
Does the starter motor operate?
Yes or No
Yes: GO TO 2.
No: Check starting system. (Refer to "STARTING SYSTEM ".)
- CHECK GROUND CONNECTIONS
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Loosen and retighten three ground screws on the body. Refer to "GROUND INSPECTION ".
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 3.
NG: Repair or replace ground connections.
- CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR (PHASE) POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
- Disconnect camshaft position (CMP) sensor (PHASE) harness connector.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check voltage between CMP sensor (PHASE) terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.
Voltage: Battery voltage
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 5.
NG: GO TO 4.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E5, F14
- Harness connectors F26, F301 (bank 1)
- Harness for open or short between camshaft position sensor (PHASE) and ECM
- Harness for open or short between camshaft position sensor (PHASE) and IPDM E/R
: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK CMP SENSOR (PHASE) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Check harness continuity between CMP sensor (PHASE) terminal 1 and ground.
Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
Continuity should exist.
- Also check harness for short to power.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 7.
NG: GO TO 6.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E5, F14
- Harness connectors F26, F301 (bank 1)
- Harness for open or short between CMP sensor (PHASE) and ground
: Repair open circuit or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK CMP SENSOR (PHASE) INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Disconnect ECM harness connector.
- Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 33 (bank 1) or 14 (bank2) and CMP sensor (PHASE) terminal 2.
Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
Continuity should exist.
- Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 9.
NG: GO TO 8.
- DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors F26, F301 (bank 1)
- Harness for open or short between camshaft position sensor (PHASE) and ECM
: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
- CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (PHASE)
Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 10.
NG: Replace camshaft position sensor (PHASE).
- CHECK CAMSHAFT (INT)
Check the following.
- Accumulation of debris to the signal plate of camshaft rear end
- Chipping signal plate of camshaft rear end
OK or NG
OK: GO TO 11.
NG: Remove debris and clean the signal plate of camshaft rear end or replace camshaft.
- CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
: INSPECTION END
