Lexus ES: Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A (P001600,P001800)
DESCRIPTION
In the VVT (Variable Valve Timing) system, the appropriate intake valve open and close timing is controlled by the ECM. The ECM performs intake valve control by performing the following: 1) controlling the intake camshaft, cam timing oil control solenoid assembly, camshaft timing gear bolt (camshaft timing oil control valve assembly [for intake camshaft]) and operating the camshaft timing gear; and 2) changing the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P001600 | Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A | Deviation in the crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor (for intake camshaft of bank 1) signal (2 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P0016 |
| P001800 | Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 2 Sensor A | Deviation in the crankshaft position sensor signal and VVT sensor (for intake camshaft of bank 2) signal (2 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P0018 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learned value while the engine is idling. The VVT learned value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the neutral position while the engine is idling. If the VVT learned value is out of the specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

Description
NORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
HINT:
- If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [E] through [G].
-
[A] to [D]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
-
Drive the vehicle for 2 to 3 minutes [E].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
- Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [F].
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [G].
-
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.
HINT:
- If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
-
[A] to [G]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
-
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transaxle.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
- The monitor for this DTC detects when the timing chain is shifted by one tooth or more.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
PROCEDURE
| 1. | PERFORM SIMULATION TEST (CHECK FOR ABNORMAL NOISE) |
(a) Start the engine.
(b) Check for abnormal noise (rattling sounds) from the camshaft timing gear assembly with the engine idling.
