      DTC P0365, P0367 or P0368 and other DTCs are output B

      HINT:

      If any DTCs other than P0365, P0367 or P0368 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

      B: GO TO DTC CHART  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART )

      A: Go to Next Step 

  2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT) (POWER SOURCE) 
    1. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      B38-3 (VC2) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V
    4. Reconnect the camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) connector.

      NG: Go to step  10

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open) 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B38-1 (VVE+) - B29-76 (EV1+) Always Below 1 Ω
      B38-2 (VVE-) - B29-75 (EV1-) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short) 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B38-1 (VVE+) or B29-76 (EV1+) -Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B38-2 (VVE-) or B29-75 (EV1-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) connector.
    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

      NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)

      OK: Go to Next Step 

  4. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT) 
    1. Check the camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) installation.

      OK: Sensor is installed correctly  .

      NG: SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR  (See REMOVAL )

      OK: Go to Next Step 

  5. INSPECT EXHAUST CAMSHAFT (TIMING ROTOR) 
    1. Check the timing rotor of the exhaust camshaft.

      OK: Camshaft timing rotor does not have any cracks or deformation  .

      NG: REPLACE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT  (See REMOVAL )

      OK: Go to Next Step 

  6. REPLACE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT) 
    1. Replace the camshaft position sensor (See REMOVAL ).
  7. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0365, P0367 OR P0368) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
    5. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle for 10 seconds or more.
    6. Turn the ignition switch off.
    7. Start the engine again and allow the engine to idle for 10 seconds or more.
    8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
    9. Read the DTCs.

      Result 

      RESULT CHART

      Result Proceed to
      DTC P0365, P0367 or P0368 is output A
      DTC is not output B

      HINT:

      If the engine does not start, replace the ECM.

      B: END 

      A: Go to Next Step 

  8. ADJUST VALVE TIMING 

    HINT:

    There are no marks on the cylinder head to match-up for the purpose of checking valve timing. Valve timing can only be inspected by lining up the colored plates on the timing chain with the marks on the pulleys. It may be necessary to remove and reinstall the chain to match-up the alignment marks (See REMOVAL ).
