When idling can be continued

  1. Disconnect OCV connector.
  2. Warm up the engine and idle it.
  3. Apply battery voltage to the OCV and verify that the engine idles roughly or stalls.
    • If the engine idles roughly or stalls, inspect the timing belt component (valve timing deviation).
    • If the engine does not idle roughly or stalls, go to the next step.
  4. Remove the OCV and perform spool valve operation inspection.

    (See OIL CONTROL VALVE (OCV) INSPECTION [L3] .)

    • If not as specified, inspect the following:
      • OCV
      • Harnesses and connectors between OCV and PCM open or short.
    • If as specified, inspect the following hydraulic passages for clogging or leakage or both:
      • Oil pressure switch - OCV
      • OCV-camshaft
      • Camshaft internal passage
  5. If they are normal, replace the camshaft pulley (with built-in variable valve timing actuator).
