Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-6700

Condition

Fig 1: Identifying Camshaft Control (CVVT)

Courtesy of VOLVO CARS OF NORTH AMERICA.

The engine control module (ECM) checks the angle of the camshaft (its position in relation to the crankshaft).

If the Engine control module (ECM) detects that the intake camshaft's angle position changes dramatically when idling, the Engine control module (ECM) interprets this as a fault and stores a DTC.

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the engine is hot and the camshaft is in position 0.

For more information, see Design and Function.

Substitute Value

The Engine control module (ECM) switches off camshaft control.
