P000A-BANK 1 CAMSHAFT 1 POSITION SLOW RESPONSE

Special Tools:










For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

- When Monitored:
Variable Valve Timing (VVT) rationality is monitored under the following conditions: (1) Cam phasing is commanded; (2) Oil temperature is between -12°C to 139°C (10°F to 282°F); (3) Battery voltage is greater than 10.0 volts; (3) Engine speed is at least 650 to 1400 RPM, depending on oil temperature; (4) No CMP Sensor, CKP Sensor, or OBDI plausibility errors. Before VVT can be enabled, reference adaptation must be completed.

- Set Condition:
The actual camshaft phasing position does not match the desired camshaft phasing position during camshaft phasing position changes.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. PCM Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
