Circuit/System Description
The camshaft position actuator system enables the Engine Control Module (ECM) to change the timing of the camshafts while the engine is
operating. The camshaft position actuator solenoid signal from the ECM is pulse width modulated (PWM). The ECM controls the camshaft position
actuator solenoid duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid ON time. The camshaft position actuator solenoid controls the advance or the
retard of each camshaft. The camshaft position actuator solenoid controls the oil flow that applies the pressure to advance or retard the camshafts.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019, P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0345, P0346, P0365, P0366, P0390, and
P0391 is not set.
* The ignition voltage is greater than 11 V.
* The engine is operating.
* The desired camshaft position is not changing greater than 4.5 degrees for at least 1 s.
* Both of the desired and actual camshaft position actuator values cannot be greater than 20 degrees or less than 5 degrees.
* DTCs P0011, P0014, P0021, and P0024 run continuously once the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0011 and P0021
The ECM detects the difference between the desired and actual camshaft position angle is greater than 5 degrees for greater 2.5 s.
P0014 and P0024
The ECM detects the difference between the desired and actual camshaft position angle is greater than 5 degrees for greater 10 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0011, P0014, P0021, and P0024 are type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0011, P0014, P0021, and P0024 are type B DTCs.
