Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
- The engine oil level and the oil pressure are critical to the correct operation of the camshaft position actuator system. Verify that the engine has the correct oil level and the correct oil pressure before continuing with this diagnostic.
- The engine oil condition has a major impact on the camshaft actuator system. Debris in the oil can interfere with the camshaft position actuator solenoid and the mechanical camshaft actuator operation. Inspect for dirty or degraded crankcase oil. The engine may require an oil change. Inquire with the customer when the last oil change was performed. You may also monitor the scan tool Engine Oil Life Remaining parameter. Advise the customer an oil change may be required.
- Verify the engine has the proper oil condition, level, and pressure. Refer to Oil Pressure Diagnosis and Testing
.
- If the oil condition, level, and oil pressure are not correct
Repair as necessary
- Go to next step: If the oil condition, level, and oil pressure are correct
- If the oil condition, level, and oil pressure are not correct
- Verify DTC P0010, P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019, P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0345, P0346, P0365, P0366, P0390 or P0391, is not set.
- If any of the DTCs are set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.
- Go to next step: If none of the DTCs are set
- If any of the DTCs are set
- Engine Running at normal operating temperature.
- Verify the scan tool parameters below are less than 2° in each of the commanded states when commanding the Camshaft Position Actuator from 0 - 20° and back to 0°.
- Intake Camshaft Position Variance
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Variance
- If 2° or greater
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- Go to next step: If less than 2°
- 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 data.
- Verify the DTC does not set.
- If the DTC sets
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- Go to next step: If the DTCs does not set
- If the DTC sets
- All OK.
NOTE:
If a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor DTC is set, the scan tool Camshaft Position Actuator output control will not function.
