CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: A rattle noise may be evident from the engine compartment and/or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) is illuminated. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that may be logged include P0016, P0017, P0026, or

SERVICE INSTRUCTION:
1. Remove the camshaft cover (see TOPix Workshop Manual, section 303-0lA / 303-01B: Engine).

2. Inspect the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT)

actuator.

• If the VCT actuator is noisy but the 'stopper' is

in place, proceed to step 3.
• if the 'stopper' is not in place in the VCT
actuator, proceed to step 4.

EI86694

3. ~ NOTE: clockwise movement should NOT be

possible without also rotating the engine.

Fully rotate the camshaft anti-clockwise (1) and then

attempt to rotate the camshaft clockwise (2).

• If no clockwise movement was possible without

also rotating the engine, the VCT actuator is
functioning correctly.

• Reverse the removal procedure.

• If the camshaft rotates freely in both directions,

the VCT actuator is NOT functioning correctly;
proceed to step 4.
