Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK FUNCTION OF EXHAUST VALVE TIMING (EVT) CONTROL

    With CONSULT-III 

    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Select "EXH V/T ASSIGN ANGLE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
    3. Start engine and keep the engine speed at 2, 500 RPM, then touch "START".
    4. Check that the values of "EXH/V TIM B1" and "EXH/V TIM B2" change when touching "UP" or "DOWN".

    Without CONSULT-III 

    1. Start engine and rev engine up above 1, 500 RPM.
    2. Read the voltage signal between ECM harness connector terminals as per the following with an oscilloscope.
