DTC P2012: TGV Control Circuit Low Bank 2: Notes

DTC detecting condition:

Immediately at fault recognition

CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .

NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR LH CONNECTOR (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E158) No. 101 (+) - Engine ground (-):
  
  (E158) No. 110 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage 5 V or more?

Yes: Repair the short circuit to power in harness between ECM connector and tumble generator valve actuator LH connector.

No: Replace the tumble generator valve actuator LH. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>TUMBLE GENERATOR VALVE ACTUATOR .

NOTE: The tumble generator valve actuator cannot be disassembled.
