What causes camshaft slow response?

What causes camshaft slow response?

Due to the large number of moving parts involved in the engine and cam system, there’s a wide range of possibilities that may cause this code: Low oil pressure due to restriction in an oil passage or a bad oil pump. A faulty camshaft position sensor. A faulty camshaft position actuator solenoid.

What is a variable valve timing actuator?

What is the Variable Valve Timing Actuator (VVT) all about? With VVT, the engine’s timing adjusts minutely during operation to meet the needs at the time, predominantly during mid and peak performance situations. It also helps to provide the smoothest idling, and ensures good “all around” performance.

How do you fix the engine code P0017?

What repairs can fix the P0017 code?

  1. Resetting the engine fault codes and verifying that the problem is still occurring.
  2. Replacing the camshaft position sensor on a failed camshaft bank.
  3. Repairing or replacing the wiring connection to the camshaft sensor or the OCV.
  4. Replacing the Engine Control Module.

What does a camshaft position slow response bank 1 mean?

This code is known as ‘A’ Camshaft Position Slow Response Bank 1. You may also see a 00010 fault along with this code, which indicates that the problem is in Bank 1. The purpose of camshafts in a vehicle is to open and close the intake and exhaust valves on the engine’s cylinders in order to keep the engine running smoothly.

What does the p000a code mean on a camshaft?

P000A code definition. This code is known as ‘A’ Camshaft Position Slow Response Bank 1. You may also see a 00010 fault along with this code, which indicates that the problem is in Bank 1.

What is the PCM code for slow response bank 1?

Code P000B is set when the PCM detects a slow response in camshaft position phase change from bank 1 circuit “B”. This code is related to P000A, P000C, and P000D.

When does the camshaft slow response DTC set?

The modeled camshaft phasing position is created to match only the worst possible cause of phasing camshaft position, If the actual camshaft phasing operates slower than the model by a calibrated threshold, it is considered failing. If either of these diagnostics fail, the camshaft position slow response DTC will set.
