Diagnosis & Repair

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect suspect VVT sensor connector. Measure resistance between VVT sensor harness connector terminals. Resistance should be 835-1400 ohms at 14-122°F (cold sensor) and 1060-1645 ohms at 122-212°F (hot sensor). If resistance is not as specified, replace VVT sensor. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
  2. Check for open or short in wiring between ECM and appropriate VVT sensor. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem exists, repair wiring as necessary. If problem does not exist, go to next step.
  3. Remove and inspect VVT sensor. Also inspect signal plate. If problem exists, replace VVT sensor and/or signal plate as necessary. If problem does not exist, replace ECM.
