Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.

瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the

ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.

3. Connect a DMM, set on the diode setting, between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground. The voltage should be greater than 2 V.

瀚慖f the DMM displays OL, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal,

replace the Engine Control Module.

瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Engine Control Module.

4. Command the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from greater than 2 V

when commanded OFF to less than 1 V, when commanded ON.

瀚慖f the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, replace the Engine Control Module.

5. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.

for greater than 10 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0016, P0017, P0018, and P0019 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0016, P0017, P0018, and P0019 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* Inspect the engine for any recent engine mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed camshaft, camshaft actuator, camshaft sensor, crankshaft

sensor, or timing chain can cause this DTC to set.

* An actuator that is in the full advance or retard position can cause this DTC to set.

* The presence of DTCs P0008 and P0009 along with P0016, P0017, P0018, and P0019 indicates a possible condition with the primary timing

chain and the alignment between both intermediate sprockets and the crankshaft. Or, the crankshaft reluctor wheel has moved and is no

longer referenced to top dead center (TDC).

* Observing the desired and actual camshaft angle parameters, with a scan tool before a DTC sets, may help to isolate whether a condition is

specific to one camshaft, one bank, or caused by a condition with the primary crankshaft timing.

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 Valve signal from the ECM is pulse width modulated (PWM). The ECM controls the

Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid valve ON time. The Camshaft Position Actuator

Solenoid Valve controls the advance or the retard of each camshaft. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve controls the oil flow that

applies the pressure to advance or retard the camshafts.

Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. The ECM controls the solenoid valve by grounding the

control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can

determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.

* The ignition voltage is between 10-18 V.

* The ECM has commanded the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.

* DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, and P2095 run continuously once the above

conditions are met for greater than 1 second.

* The engine oil condition has a major impact on the camshaft actuator system.

* A low oil level condition may set this DTC. The engine may require an oil change. Inquire with the customer when the last oil change was

performed. You may also monitor the scan tool Engine Oil Life parameter. Advise the customer an oil change may be required.

* Inspect the engine for any recent engine mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed camshaft, camshaft actuator, or timing chain can cause

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, and P2095 are type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the scan too circuit status

parameters for the component. The circuit status parameters change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a

connection.

Circuit/System Verification

1. With the engine at normal operating temperature, raise the engine speed to 2,000 RPM for 10 s. DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088,

P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, or P2095 should not set.

2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal 1 and ground.

瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the

ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.

3. Connect a DMM, set on the diode setting, between the control circuit terminal 2 and ground. The voltage should be greater than 2 V.

瀚慖f the DMM displays OL, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal,

replace the Engine Control Module.

瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Engine Control Module.

4. Command the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from greater than 2 V

when commanded OFF to less than 1 V, when commanded ON.

瀚慖f the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, replace the Engine Control Module.

5. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the appropriate Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve.

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 Valve signal from the ECM is pulse width modulated (PWM). The ECM controls the

Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid valve ON time. The Camshaft Position Actuator

Solenoid Valve controls the advance or the retard of each camshaft. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve controls the oil flow that

applies the pressure to advance or retard the camshafts.

Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. The ECM controls the solenoid valve by grounding the

control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can

determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.

* The ignition voltage is between 10-18 V.

* The ECM has commanded the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.

* DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, and P2095 run continuously once the above

conditions are met for greater than 1 second.
