Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0010, P0013, P0020, or P0023

Step	Action	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics Connector End View Reference: Engine Control Module Connector End Views or Engine Controls Connector End Views
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	Go to Step 3	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections
3	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the affected CMP activator solenoid. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid and a good ground. Turn ON the ignition. Is the test lamp illuminated?	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 4
4	IMPORTANT: The scan tool will command the intake camshaft position (CMP) actuators as a set, and the exhaust CMP actuators as a set. The CMP actuator output function will automatically raise the engine speed. Start the engine. Observe the test lamp while you command the affected CMP actuator to 30 degrees with a scan tool. Exit the CMP actuator control function on the scan tool. Did the test lamp illuminate when commanded with a scan tool?	Go to Step 5	Go to Step 8
5	Turn OFF the ignition. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit and the ground circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid. Start the engine. Observe the test lamp while you command the affected CMP actuator to 20 degrees with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition. Did the test lamp illuminate when commanded with a scan tool?	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 6
6	Repair the open or high resistance in the ground circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Wiring Repairs . Did you complete the repair?	Go to Step 13	-
7	Test the control circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid for a short voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 10
8	Test the control circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid for an open and for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 10
9	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the affected CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 11
10	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	Go to Step 13	Go to Step 12
11	Replace the affected CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake , Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust , Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Intake or Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust . Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 13	-
12	Replace the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	Go to Step 13	-
13	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	Go to Step 3	Go to Step 14
14	Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle	System OK
