IMPORTANT NOTES AND REMINDERS:
• When directed to replace the engine oil and filter, always use the specified viscosity. DO NOT
supplement the engine oil with any additives.
• When installing new cam carrier oil filters, use caution to not press them into the cam carriers
any deeper than flush with the machined cylinder head mating surface.
• The wiring connector chart referenced throughout the Troubleshooting Charts (CHAPTER 8) is
found at the end of this TSB.

CHAPTER 6: OBD MODE $06 Monitor
Read out diagnosis value of OBD MODE&06 monitor:
Mode$06 stands for “Test result for continuously and non-continuously monitored system supported”
and one of the OBD-II diagnosis modes. It shows diagnosis value “Val.”, threshold, ”Min.”, “Max.”
and diagnosis test result: “Result”.
“MID” stands for OBD Monitor ID and shows items being tested. MID $35 means Right bank [Bank
1] AVCS test and MID $36 means Left bank [Bank 2] AVCS test.
“TID” stands for The Test ID which shows specific test item being run. $8B and $8C are positive and
negative side of the intake AVCS slow response. $8C and $8C are positive and negative side of the
exhaust AVCS slow response.
While the test is not completed, the Result shows “-“. If it is completed, “OK” or “NG” is displayed
and the diagnostic test is repeated.
“Min” and “Max” is threshold of normal range. If the diagnosis value is greater than the threshold,
then “NG” is displayed and MIL is turned on.
The inspection procedure in this bulletin uses the diagnosis value for judgment of the symptom
duplication or completion of the repair because the trouble symptom is intermittent and sometimes
hard to duplicate. Threshold value of the diagnosis value for the judgment is newly setup and smaller
than the criteria of MIL ON. Therefore, it is possible to judge the trouble even though there is no MIL
condition.
For example: the threshold is “4000” deg. in the table described in Chapter 7.3. The judgment criteria
in the troubleshooting in Chapter 4 is “1000”. That means if the diagnosis value “Val.” is greater than
4000, then MIL turns on. However, if the “Val.” is greater than 1000, it should be judged failure of
the AVCS system. The case completely and constantly failure the “Val.” should be greater than 4000,
but in the case of intermittent or slightly failure case, it could be between 1000 and 4000. This strategy is able to catch such cases.
