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.

The ECM controls the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve by suppling a 12 V pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The ECM supplies a

ground to the low reference circuit.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition voltage is greater than 11 V.

* The ignition switch is in the Crank or Run position.

* The ECM commanded the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON.

* DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, and P0023 run continuously once the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 5 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, and P0023 are type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0010, P0013, P0020, and P0023 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 tool circuit status

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

connection.
