changed belt,got scan code POO1O

changed the serp. belt and got ROUGH run and scan code P0010
What the h is this...????

cleared scan P0010 and got P0011...this is staying...

[AlexNet0]

didnt by chance hit your VVTI solenoid did you?

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

P0010: Cmshaft Position "A"
Actuator circuit (BANK 1)

P0011: Camshaft Position "A"
Timing over-Advanced or System Performance(BANK 1)

so what should I do? nothing is loose...or knocked off... can I play with the timing somehow like I used to do with the old distributors?? twist them around until it smooths out..??

[chongopants]

ya check solenoid

[yaris9876]

where is it?? pic..??

Yeah you damaged the solinoid possibly when prying against something. Another memeber had the same issue doing something similar. I think he was changing a pulley or something.

I see a solenoid next to the stud that you use to pry the alternator bracket tight..it doesnt seem damaged at all
...after I changed the belt I did start it up without the harness plugged in there.. when I saw this I quickly
plugged it in. It is tight and secure.... These computer controlled cars are suppose to adjust the timing automatically to some degree.. It seems to be a bit better than the initial roughness..but still not really
smooth... the exhaust is not smooth. It runs ok... its not bad enough to not run and when under power its smooth enough.
That solenoid doesnt seem to move at all... does it pull out..??? the scan gauge would say if it was a bad solenoid anyway.... the code is for advanced timing.....
by the way ... can you or cant you buy an obd port machine that CAN make adjustments to some degree on these Toyotas..?? mechanics..??
If not, how can someone adjust the timing manually..??? there must be a way..

Sounds to me like you did in fact dammage the solenoid. At least that is the likely possibility. My first step would be to change it. Or at least look at it again. What else would throw that code?

The timing is completely controlled by the ECM. Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to clear the short term data from the ECM.

[yaris9876]

that is a good comment..I knew there would be one eventually..
I actually thought of the battery a few minutes before I read this....
I bet it fixes it.
by the way... this thing where you disconnect both terminals and touch positive to some metal to ground it...
is this safe?? as long as both cables are off the battery....this unloads the capacitors and totally clears the learned memory thing..??
mechanics....
