The camshaft position (CMP) actuator is attached to the camshaft and is hydraulically operated in order to change the angle of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position (CKP) . The CMP actuator solenoid is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) . The ECM sends a pulse width modulated 12-volt signal to a CMP actuator solenoid. The solenoid controls the amount of engine oil flow to the CMP actuator by extending a pintle within the solenoid. The pintle acts against a spool valve in the CMP actuator mechanism which is attached to the front of the camshaft. As the spool valve is moved, oil is directed to the CMP actuator, which rotates the camshaft. The CMP actuator can change the cam angle a maximum of 27 degrees.
• | The ignition is in Crank or Run. |
• | The system voltage is between 11-18 volts. |
• | DTC P0010 runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
• | DTCs P0010, P0016, P0335, P0336, P0340, or P0341 are not set. |
• | The system voltage is between 11-18 volts. |
• | The engine is running. |
• | The control module has enabled the CMP actuator and commanded greater than 0 degrees. |
• | DTC P0011 runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
The ECM detects that the state of the driver and the state of the circuit do not match. The ECM will detect an open, short to ground, or a short to voltage on the high control circuit or an open on the low reference circuit for more than 6.25 seconds.
• | DTC P0010 and P0011 are Type B DTCs. |
• | The CMP actuator is commanded to the parked position. |
DTCs P0010 and P0011 are Type B DTCs.
Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions
Important: The supply of clean pressurized engine oil to the CMP actuator is essential to CMP actuator performance.
⇒ | If the vehicle has the incorrect engine oil, is old, burnt, or contains additives then change the oil and filter. |
Important: The engine will run rough and may require throttle input to keep running.
Important: You must complete the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm, test the low reference for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If the test lamp is always ON, test the high control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to ground, an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm, test the low reference for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the CMP Actuator solenoid. |
⇒ | If greater than 1 ohm, test the high control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, perform the Component Testing for CMP actuator solenoid. |
Important: Ensure that the component is tested at 20°C (68°F).
⇒ | If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the CMP actuator solenoid. |
Important: Do not allow the solenoid to be energized for more than 2 seconds.
⇒ | If the function does not perform as specified, replace the CMP actuator solenoid. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
