Detection Condition

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set when actual valve timing is over-advanced by 15 degrees from target valve timing when Oil Control Valve (OCV) system controls within maximum valve timing retard. This is a continuous monitoring (CCM). Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminates if Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects this malfunction conditions in 2 consecutive drive cycles. Pending codes is available if PCM detects malfunction during first drive cycle. Freeze Frame Data is available and DTC will store in PCM memory.
