 The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
 Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
 Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is closed quickly to
reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the charging effect.
 The system reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
 If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the fully retarded position.
 The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
 The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine speeds.

11-70Fuel and Emissions Systems
How to Set Readiness Codes (cont’d)
NOTE: All readiness codes are cleared when the battery
is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the
ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.
 Battery voltage is more than 10.5 V.
 Engine at idle.
 ECT SENSOR 1 and ECT SENSOR 2 between 80 °C (176 °F) and 100 °C (212 °F).
 MAP SENSOR less than 46.6 kPa (350 mmHg, 14 in.Hg).
 Vehicle speed (VSS) 0 km/h (0 mph).
 IAT SENSOR between 0 °C (32 °F) and 100 °C (212 °F).
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
2. Start the engine.
3. Select EVAP TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS, then select the FUNCTION TEST in the
EVAP TEST MENU.
 If the result is normal, readiness is complete.
 If the result is not normal, go to the next step.
4. Check for a Temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure. NOTE:
 Do not turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) or ACC (I) during the procedure.
 All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the
ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.
ECT SENSOR 1 at 60 °C (140 °F) or more. 1. Start the engine.
2. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short periods of steady cruise. During the
drive, decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for
5 seconds. After about 5.6 km (3.5 miles), the
readiness code should switch from incomplete to
complete.
3. Check the readiness codes screen for the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
 If the screen shows complete, readiness is complete.
 If the screen shows not complete, go to the next step.
4. Check for a Temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, the enable criteria was probably not met. Select the
DATA LIST MENU. Check the ECT SENSOR 1 in the
ALL DATA LIST with the HDS. If the ECT SENSOR 1
is less than 60 °C (140 °F), run the engine until it is
more than 60 °C (140 °F), then repeat the procedure.

Procedure
11-71
NOTE: All readiness codes are cleared when the battery
is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the
ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.
1. Start the engine, and let it idle for 1 minute. The readiness code should switch from incomplete to
complete.
2. If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
repeat the procedure.
 This readiness code is always set to available because misfiring is continuously monitored.
 Monitoring pauses, and the misfire counter resets, if the vehicle is driven over a rough road.
 Monitoring also pauses, and the misfire counter holds at its current value, if the throttle position
changes more than a predetermined value, or if
driving conditions fall outside the range of any
related enable criteria.
 This readiness code is always set to available because the fuel system is continuously monitored
during closed loop operation.
 Monitoring pauses when the catalytic converter, EVAP control system, and A/F sensor monitors are
active.
 Monitoring also pauses when any related enable criteria are not being met. Monitoring resumes when
the enable criteria is again being met.
This readiness code is always set to available because
the comprehensive component monitor is continuously
running when ever the engine is cranking or running. NOTE:
 Do not turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) or ACC (I) during the procedure.
 All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the
ECM/PCM is reset with the HDS.
ECT SENSOR 1 at 80 °C (176 °F) or more. 1. Connect the HDS to the DLC.
2. Start the engine.
3. Drive at a steady speed with the A/T in D position or M/T in 4th gear, at 80 100 km/h (50 62 mph) or
above for more than 10 seconds.
4. With the A/T in D position or M/T in 4th gear, decelerate from 100 km/h (62 mph) or above by
completely releasing the throttle for at least
5 seconds. If the engine is stopped during this
procedure, go to step 3 and do the procedure again.
5. Check the OBD status screen for DTC P0401 in the DTC’s MENU with the HDS.
 If it is PASSED, readiness is complete.
 If it is not PASSED, go to step 3 and retest.
