E-CVVT Cover
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Remove the center of the E-CVVT motor plug (A) by breaking it.NOTE:
- Remove after 30 minutes of switching "OFF" the ignition to drain out the oil inside the E-CVVT motor plug.
- Do not tilt the front of engine (timing chain cover side) downward as residual oil may flow out during E-CVVT motor plug removal.
- If oil flows out during E-CVVT motor plug removal, wipe off immediately and block the motor shaft inlet with a clean towel.
- Clean the E-CVVT motor plug mounting surface (A) with oil cleaner.NOTE:
- If the surface is not cleaned, E-CVVT motor plug may be separated due to diminished separation force from residual oil.
- When spraying oil cleaner, block around the motor shaft inlet and rotor gap with a clean towel to prevent inflow of oil from flowing into the rotor gap.
- When reusing the E-CVVT cover, inspect the below items.
- If there is sign of leakage from inside the E-CVVT cover, replace it with a new one.
- Check for worn connector brush (A).
Specification : Over 5 mm (0.1969 in.)
- Check for damaged oil seal (A) and replace any damaged E-CVVT cover with a new one.
- After inspecting E-CVVT, if no problem is found, replace the o-ring (A) with a new one.
- Install the E-CVVT cover.
- Apply engine oil on oil seal lip (A).NOTE:
- When applying oil, keep the connector brush (A) clean from foreign materials.
- Insert SST (09243-C2000) into the E-CVVT motor shaft.NOTE:
- Correctly mount SST onto the motor shaft.
- Slowly push the E-CVVT cover (A) until it is flush with the timing chain cover surface.NOTE:
- Installing the E-CVVT cover without SST may cause oil leakage inside the E-CVVT motor due to damaged or separated E-CVVT oil seal.
- Pre-tighten the bolts in the below sequence, and then remove the SST (09243-C2000).
Tightening torque:
1.0 - 2.0 N.m (0.1 - 0.2 kgf.m, 0.7 - 1.4 lb-ft)
- Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the sequence below.
Tightening torque:
9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
- Apply engine oil on oil seal lip (A).
- Install the E-CVVT plug.
- Inspect the pressed depth of E-CVVT plug.
- By using a steel ruler, measure the distance from E-CVVT cover center boss to the end of motor shaft ((1)).
- By using a steel ruler, measure the distance from E-CVVT cover center boss to the end of E-CVVT plug ((2))
- Calculate the pressed depth ((3)) of motor plug.
If out of specification, reinstall after replacing the E-CVVT plug with a new one.
Pressed depth (3)= (2) - (1)
Specification - 2.1 mm (0.0433 - 0.0827 in.)
- Insert the E-CVVT cover plug so that the protrusion reach to E-CVVT cover groove correctly.
- Install the engine support bracket (A).
Tightening torque:
39.2 - 44.1 N.m (4.0 - 4.5 kgf.m, 28.9 - 32.5 lb-ft)
- Pre-tighten the bolts in the sequence (1→2→3).
- Turn the bracket counterclockwise and then tightening the bolt 1.
- And then tighten the bolt in the sequence (2→3→4→5→6).
- Install the engine mounting bracket.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - "ENGINE MOUNTING ")
- Perform the E-CVVT learning value erasing using the diagnosis tool.NOTE:
- After replacing or remounting the E-CVVT assembly, be sure to reset the learned value from the additional feature menu on the diagnostic device.
- When the learned value for electronic cam position is erased, start learning the cam position while cranking. The engine can start once this is completed.
- Cranking should be repeated for up to 2-3 times to complete learning.
