Hey guys, FYI this car has been fixed after replacing the bank 1 oil control valve. What I am looking for is any tips or procedures that would have diagnosed this fault quicker and/or more accurately. I received this car and after connecting the scan tool read the bank 1 OCV and misfire codes. I noticed the misfires were all on the same bank as the OCV fault. Next, I watched the data PIDS and could see the OCV turn on and then misfires would begin. After that I took my DVOM to the OCV connector pin 1 L/Y and with the active test activated the bank 1 OCV. I could see the PWM volatge levels change from 1V-9V. At this time I qouted the OCV replacement and 1.0 to diagnose. Would any of you had done something different or have a better test? Frankly, I wasn't sure what other test I could have done and therefore was not very confident with the call.
