The problem could be:

- Dirty or low engine oil
- Valve timing
- Oil control valve
- Variable Valve Timing controller assembly
- Engine Control Module (ECM)

There is an oil control valve on the head that allows oil pressure to change the cam timing. If it gets dirty or sticks, you have this error.

P1354 CODE 2000 TOYOTA AVALON

code p 1354 refers to variable valve timing system malfunction bank 2
causes are problem with valve timing
dirty or low engine oil level
problem VVT ( variable valve timing) controller assembly
faulty oil control valve
defective PCM
It works like this
although the valve timing is initially set at the pulley, that pulley is attached to a moveable section that controls the actual valve timing as is required by different rpm and load settings
That moving action is controlled by a solenoid and oil pressure from the engine
indications of a problem in that area
rough idling
under powered engine

2001 Lexus ES300 error code of P0300,P0302,P0304,P0306,P1354. Changed all the sparks plugs and checked the

Exhaust camshaft on bank 2 is out of time. It could be the camshart control valve or possibly the the camshaft has slipped a tooth. Focus on the P1354. The other codes are secondary to this fault.

How do I fix trouble code p1354 on a 2000 Toyota avalon?

P1354 Toyota Description
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system controls the intake valve timing to proper timing in response to driving condition. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls Oil Control Valve (OCV) to make the intake valve timing properly, and, oil pressure controlled with OCV is supplied to the VVT controller, and then, VVT controller changes relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft.

2000 Toyota Avalon with a p1354 code. ( bank 2 vvt ). Replaced both back 1 and bank 2 vvt solenoids. Drove car over 100 miles and came back on again. Light comes on and a few days later it begins missing...

Timing belt is a bit stretched. Time to have it replaced. Toyota has to be dead on the money, when it comes to the timing marks. I done several of them and you have to add extra pressure to the belt tensioner to make them run right.

P1354

I found this on a google search i hope it will help you as the engine is the same QUESTION: , 2001 Avalon 145,000 miles. Recently developed rough idle when warm. Today produced codes of P1150, P1354. It points to the VVT system. Can a DIY diagnose and repair from home?

Thanks,
John

ANSWER: The P1354 code is for the VVTi malfunction on bank2 which is the cylinder head near the firewall, the 1150 code is for the air.fuel ratio sensor on the same head, the VVTi code can cause the A/F ratio sensor to go out of range, the main cause is the P1354 code which should be delt with first, this can be caused by a worn timing belt that has junped a tooth on the sprocket, this should be checked first, at this mileage if it has never been replaced it may be the problem. If your scanner can read live data see where the engine timing is at.
If the timing is not the problem it may be a bad oil control valve for the VVTi system, to be sure it should be active tested using a diagnostic tool that is capable of doing so, activating the system at idle should cause the engine run rough at idle, if there is no effect on the engine the VVTi is not activated and the problem may be the OCV.
