    This technical bulletin provides instructions for diagnosing and repairing a 1997 XK8 that is storing DTC P1396 for a faulty variable valve timing solenoid on the B bank engine. The procedure involves checking the VVT solenoid and actuator by applying voltage to the solenoid and pressing a rod into the actuator while the engine runs. It also involves checking the camshaft position sensor reluctor for proper alignment and adjusting it if misaligned by lightly striking the reluctor lobe. Replacing specified gaskets and seals is also part of the repair procedure.

    SERVICE TECHNICAL BULLETIN


    MODEL 1997 MY-ON
    DTC P1396 (VVT Solenoid
    XK8 Range
    Malfunction - B bank) – VIN
    Diagnosis and Repair 001001-011682

    Issue:
    This bulletin outlines the proper procedure for diagnosis and repair if a 1997 MY-ON XK8 stores
    a DTC P1396 (Variable Valve Timing [VVT] solenoid malfunction - B bank). The procedure
    covers diagnosis of the VVT solenoid, the VVT actuator, and the camshaft position sensor
    reluctor.
    A limited number of engines, in vehicles within the above VIN range, may have a reluctor
    misalignment which would result in DTC P1396 being stored.

    Action:
    When diagnosing the cause of a DTC P1396 on a 1997 MY XK8 vehicle within the above VIN
    range, proceed as follows:
    CHECKING THE VVT SOLENOID AND THE VVT ACTUATOR
    1. Load the PDU at the base station and connect the PDU to the data link connector.
    2. Use the PDU to display the recorded DTC(s). If DTC P1396 is recognized as the system
    fault, proceed to step 3.
    3. Disconnect the B bank VVT solenoid connector (Illustration 1.)

    4. After removing the securing screws, remove the VVT solenoid from the timing cover.
    5. Remove and discard the O-ring seal from the solenoid.
    6. Apply battery voltage to the solenoid connector pins to verify that the solenoid plunger
    operates correctly.

    WARNING: The following steps involve working at the front of the


    engine while it is running. Use care to avoid the drive belts and pulleys. It is
    recommended that you have an assistant start and stop the engine.

    7. Insert a suitable rod through the VVT solenoid mounting opening in the timing cover, into
    the actuating valve (Illustration 2.)
    8. Cover the area surrounding the rod and the timing cover opening with absorbent material to
    absorb any oil spilled when the engine is run.

    CAUTION: Ensure that the absorbent material will not contact the belt or
    pulleys.

    9. Start the engine.


    10. With the engine at ambient temperature and running at idle, press on the rod to operate the
    actuating valve, which will in turn operate the VVT actuator. When the engine is cold, the
    idle speed will become uneven when the VVT operates. This verifies that the VVT actuator
    operates correctly.

    NOTE: The oil pressure must be above 1.5 bar (21.8 psi) to operate the
    VVT actuator. (Low oil pressure warning light off.)

    11. Stop the engine.


    12. Remove and discard the absorbent material.
    13. Remove the rod and clean the surrounding area.
    14. Reinstall the VVT solenoid with a new O-ring.
    15. Reconnect the harness to the VVT solenoid connector.

    CHECKING THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RELUCTOR
    1. Remove the engine cover, coil cover and the coils from the B bank.
    2. Remove the EVAP purge valve.
    3. Remove the harness clips from the camshaft cover.
    4. Loosen the camshaft cover securing bolts and lift the cover with the bolts from the camshaft
    carrier.
    5. Remove the securing bolts from the cover.
    6. Remove and discard the seals from the bolts.
    7. Remove and discard the outer and inner gaskets from the camshaft cover.
    8. Rotate the crankshaft until you can observe the position of the camshaft position sensor
    reluctor. The reluctor (Illustration 3) should be centered in the drive slot without a
    noticeable gap at either side. Illustration 3, for example, shows a gap at the arrow meaning
    that the reluctor is advanced. If the gap were at the other side, the reluctor would be
    retarded. If the reluctor is not positioned properly, proceed to step 9, otherwise proceed to
    step 12, then refer to DTC summaries manual for other possible causes for DTC P1396.

    9. Use suitable locking pliers to hold the camshaft on the unfinished area between cylinders 3
    and 4, at the cast-in flat projection.
    10. Lightly strike the reluctor lobe, while tensioning the camshaft in the opposite direction, to
    re-position the rotor against the opposite face of the slot.
    11. Remove the locking pliers from the camshaft.

    12. Install new spark plug seals and a camshaft cover gasket (Illustration 4).

    14. Apply a bead of approved RTV sealant to the two areas where the joint between the front
    cover and the cylinder head is exposed (Illustration 6).

    NOTE: Install the camshaft cover immediately after applying the sealant.
    Position the cover with the retaining bolts to avoid smearing the sealant bead.

    15. Torque the camshaft cover securing bolts to 9-11 Nm, according to the sequence in
    Illustration 7.

    17. Reinstall the EVAP purge valve.
    18. Reinstall the ignition coils, the coil cover and the engine cover.
    19. Clear the DTC by using the PDU.

    ROAD TEST
    1. Start the engine and select the Drive 2 range.
    2. With the coolant temperature between 30°C and 80°C, accelerate from idle to 4200 RPM (in
    the Drive 2 range) several times to initiate the VVT diagnostics.
    2. Use the PDU to check if DTC P1396 was reset. If so, continue with PDU diagnostics.
