Diagnostic Method

  1. Crankshaft Timing Diagnosis

    Judge as NG when the timing advance is large. Judge as OK when it is small.

    Judge as NG when all the following conditions are established and the continuous time is more than 20 seconds. Judge as OK and clear the NG when the following conditions are not established and the continuous time is more than one second.

    Judgment Value 

    MALFUNCTION CRITERIA AND THRESHOLD VALUE REFERENCE

    Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value
    Basic timing advance <-18°CA or > 18°CA

    Time Needed for Diagnosis:  20 seconds

    Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

  2. Slow Response Diagnosis

    Calculates (integrate by positive and negative separately) the AVCS deviation amount when the timing advance is large. Judges NG if the integrated value is large after 30 seconds has passed, and judges OK if it is small.

Abnormality Judgment 

Judge as OK when all of the following conditions are established.

Judgment Value

AVCS target position ≥ 0°CA
Target timing advance large integrated counter 30 seconds or more

Normality Judgment 

Judges OK when all of the following conditions are established, and clears the NG.
