DESCRIPTION
The intake camshaft's Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor (VV1, VV2 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE
(Magnetoresistive Element).
The camshaft timing gear has a sensor plate with 3 teeth on its outer circumference. When the gear rotates,
changes occur in the air gaps between the sensor plate and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the
resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The VVT sensor converts the gear rotation data to pulse signals, uses the
pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends the camshaft angle data to the ECM.
The crankshaft position sensor plate has 34 teeth. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each crankshaft
revolution. Based on a combination of the VVT signal and NE signal, the ECM detects the crankshaft angle. Then the
ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing. Also, based on the NE signal, the ECM detects
the engine speed.

HINT
- The correct waveforms are as shown.
- VV1+ and VV2+ are the VVT sensor signals, and NE+ is the crankshaft position sensor signal.

If no signal is transmitted by the VVT sensor despite the camshaft revolving, or the rotations of the camshaft and
crankshaft are not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the VVT sensor.

3. Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [C].
HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

HINT
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps [B] and [C] again.
13. If no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs See: Computers and Control
Systems > Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes > DTC Check / Clear.
HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when
malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving
or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time
the malfunction occurred.
