Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
When the DME is activated (wake-up) it assesses the current
VVT sensor angle based on the last VVT sensor angle prior
to shutdown. If there is a substantial difference in the two
204
angles, the operative assumption will that substantial repairs
have been carried out on the cylinder head. The VVT travel
limit positions must be re-initialized.
No VVT sensor faults should be present (#10800,
#10801,#10802).
Terminal condition: Terminal 15 ON
Voltage condition:
none
Condition for fault memory entry
Following successful travel limit initialization routine (can
be initiated by tester),
active only once at moment when system starts (DME wakeup).
Action in service
Conduct travel limit initialization routine using tester for
activation. Delete stored fault codes from DME fault
memory and initiate dormant vehicle state. Repeat procedure
in case of doubt.
