Did the engine stall or run rough?

YES - Test-drive at a steady speed between 30 - 60 km/h (19 - 37 mph) for 10 minutes.

If temporary DTC P0011 is indicated, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck (see page 11-5), replace the original ECM.

NO - Go to step 15.

  1. Check the VTC actuator (see page 6-9).

    Is the VTC actuator OK?

YES - Remove the auto-tensioner (see page 4-26) and replace the VTC oil filter. Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck (see page 11-5). If symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM.

NO - Replace the VTC actuator.
