PINPOINT TEST HK: VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (VCT)

Introduction

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The PCM monitors and evaluates the response of the actual position on a target position change. The setpoint and camshaft position are saved at the beginning of a setpoint change. If this change over time is large enough (gradient), the camshaft phasing change is evaluated. If the change after the diagnostic time is smaller than a threshold, a slow response is detected, and if the value is greater, then there is no concern. By detecting a concern, an antibounce counter is incremented otherwise the counter is decremented.

Refer to the DTC Fault Trigger Conditions.
