What causes timing over-retarded?

What causes timing over-retarded?

What causes the P0012 code? The variable camshaft timing (VCT) oil control valve (OCV) stuck in the open position. The camshaft phaser is damaged and stuck in the retarded position. Oil flow problems to the VCT piston and phaser.

What does camshaft position Bank 1 mean?

If the Engine Computer (ECM/PCM) notices that the cam timing is too far advanced and attempts to set a target to correct that incorrect angle but the Cam and Crank sensors indicate the angle didn’t correct or didn’t correct fast enough, the P0011 code is triggered on bank 1. Every engine has a bank 1.

What does camshaft position Timing Over Advanced mean?

The camshaft is too advanced when the ECM has commanded the camshaft to retard to a lower timing level. The oil control solenoid to the bank 1 camshaft may be stuck or have clogged passages. The oil is too thick causing the passages to become clogged due to lack of oil flow to and from the camshaft phasers.

When did I get the code p0015 camshaft position?

I HAVE 2008 S550 4 MATIC I GOT THE CODE P0015 CAMSHAFT POSITION CENSOR BANK 1 ,I DID REPLACED 2 OF SENSOR ONE WEEK LATER CHECK ENGINE CAM AGAINT SAME CODE P0015 ENGINE RUN PERFECT,WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT. THANK YOU…

What causes the p0015 OBD-II trouble code?

P0015 is the OBD-II generic code indicating the engine control module (ECM) has determined that the exhaust camshaft timing for bank 1 is more retarded than what the ECM has commanded it to be. The over-retarded timing condition can be during the advancing or retarding phase. What causes the P0015 code?

What does the PCM error code p0015 mean?

This error code is actually a generic code that indicates the PCM (or ECM) has determined a problem in the exhaust camshaft timing in bank 1. The problem refers to the camshaft’s timing, in which it’s over-retarded (delayed) compared to where it should be. This over-retarded issue can occur in either advancing or retarding phase.

What does Bank # 1 mean on a p0015 DTC?

That consists of a few different components but the P0015 DTC specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is over-retarded, the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set. Bank #1 is the side of the engine that contains cylinder #1.
