DTC P0013-13: Camshaft Position "B" - Actuator Bank 1 Circuit Open [09/2022 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla, 2024 Toyota GR Corolla, and 2023 Toyota GR Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system adjusts the exhaust valve timing to improve driveability. The engine oil pressure turns the VVT controller (camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly) to adjust the valve timing.

The cam timing oil control solenoid assembly (for exhaust camshaft) operates according to signals received from the ECM to control the position of the camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing valve assembly) and supply engine oil. The camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (exhaust camshaft timing valve assembly) moves when the ECM applies 12 V to the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly (for exhaust camshaft). The ECM changes the energizing time of the cam timing oil control solenoid assembly (for exhaust camshaft) duty-cycle in accordance with the camshaft position, crankshaft position, throttle position, etc.
