Toyota Venza: Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit (Bank 1) (P0365,P0367,P0368)

Toyota Venza Service Manual / 1ar-fe Engine Control / Sfi System / Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit (Bank 1) (P0365,P0367,P0368)

DESCRIPTION

The camshaft position sensor (EV signal sensor) for the exhaust camshaft consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistance Element).

The exhaust camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MRE, which affects the magnet. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection duration, injection timing and the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area

P0367	The output voltage of the exhaust camshaft position sensor is below 0.3 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) circuit Camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) ECM
P0368	The output voltage of the exhaust camshaft position sensor is higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) circuit Camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) ECM

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope (See page ).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If no signal is transmitted by the exhaust camshaft position sensor despite the camshaft revolving, or the rotation of the exhaust camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

Also, when the sensor output voltage remains at below 0.3 V, or higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds or more, the ECM stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) (See page ).

Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
Read the Pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0365, P0367 or P0368.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Techstream Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

HINT:

If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (See page ).
HINT:
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0335 (See page ).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, there may be a mechanical problem with the engine.
