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 P0011, P0014, P0021, or P0024

1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
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 Intermittent Conditions
3	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the affected camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoid. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 4
4	Disconnect the affected CMP actuator solenoid. Measure the resistance of the CMP actuator solenoid with a DMM. Is the resistance within the specified value for the specified CMP actuator solenoid temperature?	3.26-3.66 Ω at -40°C (-40°F) 4.00-4.50 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 4.02-4.52 Ω at 25°C (77°F) 5.68-6.38 Ω at 125°C (257°F)	Go to Step 5	Go to Step 9
5	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 in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 6
6	Disconnect the ECM. Test the control circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid for resistance that is more than the specified value. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	2.5 Ω	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 7
7	Test the ground circuit of the affected CMP actuator solenoid for resistance that is more than the specified value. Refer to Ground Distribution Schematics , Circuit Testing , and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	2.5 Ω	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 8
8	Test for the following conditions: Degraded oil quality and proper oil level Proper alignment of the CMP actuator solenoid to the oil control valve-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 , and Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust . Low engine oil pressure-Refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing in Engine Mechanical. Oil pressure leaks and restrictions in the dedicated oil passages from the oil filter to the affected CMP actuator-Refer to Oil Pump Outlet Tube Cleaning and Inspection . A slow moving or sticking oil control valve-Refer to Camshaft Timing Drive Components Cleaning and Inspection in Engine Mechanical. A slow moving or sticking CMP actuator-Refer to Camshaft Timing Drive Components Cleaning and Inspection in Engine Mechanical. A loose primary or secondary timing chain-Refer to Camshaft Timing Drive Components Cleaning and Inspection in Engine Mechanical. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 10
9	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 11	-
10	Replace the ECM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 11	-
11	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Operate the vehicle with in the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle with in the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 12
12	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 in Vehicle DTC Information	System OK
