Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0021 "A" CAMSHAFT POSITION - TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 2">Go to Step 2.

2.CHECK CURRENT DATA.

1) Start the engine and let it idle.

2) Read the value of «VVT Adv. Ang. Amount L» using the Subaru Select Monitor.

NOTE:

For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">

Is the value of «VVT Adv. Ang. Amount L» approx. 0 deg?

Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0021 "A" CAMSHAFT POSITION - TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 2">Go to Step 3.

Check the following item and repair or replace if necessary.

• Intake cam sprocket (clog or dirt of oil routing, setting of spring)

• Intake camshaft (dirt, damage of camshaft)

3.CHECK CURRENT DATA.

1) Drive with acceleration and deceleration at 80 km/h (50 MPH) or less.

NOTE:

Drive to an extent that the duty output of oil flow control solenoid valve increases.

2) Read the values of «OCV Duty L» and «VVT Adv. Ang. Amount L» using the Subaru Select Monitor.

NOTE:

For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">

When the value of «OCV Duty L» increases more than 10%, is the value of «VVT Adv. Ang. Amount L» approx. 0 deg?

Check the following item and repair or replace if necessary.

• Intake cam sprocket (clog or dirt of oil routing, setting of spring)

• Intake camshaft (dirt, damage of camshaft)
