What does trouble code p0011 mean on a car?
The camshaft (s) is (are) adjusted by the ECM through the use of an oil control valve (s) (OCV) also called variable valve timing control solenoid valves. When trouble code P0011 is set, it means that the intake camshaft in Bank 1 is more advanced than the ECM has told it to be.
What should I do if I find a p0011 set?
If the initial P0011 sets and other codes are present then erase all codes and do five camshaft drive cycles and then re-investigate which codes come back. If any of these codes are present disregard and erase. If they come back it is electrical wiring or connection failure.
What do you call an intake camshaft solenoid error?
You have an intake camshaft solenoid error usually. Not manufacturer specific, is a generic code. Bank A or bank 1 if a 4 cylinder engine. Depending on the type of engine if you have two banks then will have a bank 2 error.
What causes a misdiagnosed cam shaft timing problem?
The misdiagnosed problem is engine vibration which will loosen the harness connecters because most variable cam shaft timing systems rely on high revolution engines. So, any loose wiring or connections may cause this code. It does not mean the actual valve is a problem. First check the resistance of the actual valve.
What does p0011 mean on a camshaft?
Bank one is the bank of cylinders that contains cylinder one. This code indicated that the camshaft timing is above the threshold, also called being over-advanced. What Are the Symptoms of Code P0011? Like other timing issues, an over-advanced camshaft can cause the engine to run rough.

What to do if you have a p0011 code problem?
Check the condition of the engine oil. If it is too low or overly viscous, change your oil. Scan your codes again and capture the freeze frame data. Following this, clear your codes and run the engine. Watch to see if the code returns or if the symptoms continue.
