Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A34-26 (VV1+) - C12-2 (VV1+) Always Below 1 Ω A34-34 (VVE) - C12-3 (VV1-) Always Below 1 Ω A34-15 (VV2+) - C26-2 (VV2+) Always Below 1 Ω A34-34 (VVE) - C26-3 (VV2-) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A34-26 (VV1+) or C12-2 (VV1+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-34 (VVE) or C12-3 (VV1-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-15 (VV2+) or C26-2 (VV2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-34 (VVE) or C26-3 (VV2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher HINT:
- Jiggle the wire harness and connector to increase the likelihood of detecting malfunctions that do not always occur.
- Make sure there is not an excessive amount of force applied to the wire harness.
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 113
- Disconnect the VVT sensor connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VVT SENSOR (EXHAUST SIDE) - ECM)
- Disconnect the VVT sensor connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition C6-1 (+B) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V C25-1 (+B) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*A Bank 1 *B Bank 2 *a Front view of wire harness connector
(to VVT Sensor (Exhaust Side)) - Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A34-14 (EV1+) - C6-2 (EV1+) Always Below 1 Ω A34-34 (VVE) - C6-3 (EV1-) Always Below 1 Ω A34-25 (EV2+) - C25-2 (EV2+) Always Below 1 Ω A34-34 (VVE) - C25-3 (EV2-) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A34-14 (EV1+) or C6-2 (EV1+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-34 (VVE) or C6-3 (EV1-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-25 (EV2+) or C25-2 (EV2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher A34-34 (VVE) or C25-3 (EV2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher HINT:

- Make sure there is not an excessive amount of force applied to the wire harness.
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 114
- Disconnect the VVT sensor connector.
- CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
- Replace the crankshaft position sensor (Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] ).
- Check the engine start operation.
OK
Malfunction has been repaired successfully.
Result:
OK
END (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE)
Result:
NG
See step 115
- CHECK VVT SENSOR
- Replace the VVT sensor (Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] ).
- Check the engine start operation.
OK
Malfunction has been repaired successfully.
Result:
OK
END (VVT SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE)
Result:
NG
REPLACE ECM
(Refer to REMOVAL [06/2016 - ] )
