Signal Too High

Signal too high

Checking wiring and terminals

Hint: With the ignition on and the reset valve connector disconnected, the voltage at connector terminal #1 must be approximately Ubat and at connector terminal #2 it must be a pulse width modulated signal with a peak voltage of approximately Ubat and with a frequency of approximately 250 Hz.

Check the resistance between connector terminals #1 and #2 on the camshaft reset valve. The resistance must be approximately 3.7 ohms.
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A12 (#A12) and connector terminal #2 (on the camshaft reset valve). Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate reading off the actual and desired values for the reset valve. Check that they are approximately the same at different engine speeds (RPM).
The values cannot be compared at idle speed, when variable valve timing (VVT) is at 0. Variable valve timing (VVT) is also at 0 when a fault is stored. When the car is stationary, it may be difficult for the variable valve timing (VVT) to change unless a quick and powerful surge occurs. This is because the load is too low. However, variable valve timing (VVT) is always activated at extremely high engine speeds (RPM).
Is the function OK?





Is the value within its permitted range?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED

The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
