DTC P052C: - Cold Start Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced (Bank 2)

DTC P052C: - COLD START CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING OVER-ADVANCED (BANK 2)

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the variable camshaft timing (VCT) position for an over-advanced camshaft timing during cold start up. The test fails when the camshaft timing exceeds a maximum calibrated value or remains in an advanced position.
Possible Causes: 
  • Camshaft timing incorrectly set
  • Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
  • VCT solenoid valve stuck open
  • Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit)
Diagnostic Aids:  This DTC is a functional check of the VCT unit. Diagnose any base engine concerns related to the engine oil pressure or engine timing. Refer to the ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION , Oil Pressure Test, to check the engine oil pressure. Refer to the TIMING DRIVE COMPONENTS - CAMSHAFT DRIVE CASSETTE, LH , to check the engine timing.
