Circuit/System Description

The camshaft position actuator system enables the Engine Control Module (ECM) to change the timing of the camshafts while the engine is

operating. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve signal from the ECM is pulse width modulated (PWM). The ECM controls the

Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid valve ON time. The Camshaft Position Actuator

Solenoid Valve controls the advance or the retard of each camshaft. The Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve controls the oil flow that

applies the pressure to advance or retard the camshafts.

Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve. The ECM controls the solenoid valve by grounding the

control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can

determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.

* The ignition voltage is between 10-18 V.

* The ECM has commanded the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.

* DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, and P2095 run continuously once the above

conditions are met for greater than 1 second.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023

The ECM detects an open in the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve circuits for greater than 1 s or a cumulative of 5 s, when the solenoid

valve is commanded OFF.

P2088, P2090, P2092, P2094

The ECM detects a short to ground in the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve circuits for greater than 1 s or a cumulative of 5 s, when the

solenoid valve is commanded OFF.

P2089, P2091, P2093, P2095

The ECM detects a short to voltage in the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve circuits for greater than 1 s or a cumulative of 5 s, when the

solenoid valve is commanded ON.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, and P2095 are type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, P0023, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, and P2095 are type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the scan too circuit status

parameters for the component. The circuit status parameters change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a

connection.
