0060-CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR 1/2 TARGET PERFORMANCE





For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical

- When Monitored:
With the engine running.

- Set Condition:
The PCM detects that the camshaft position is not within a specific range based on operating conditions.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Theory of Operation

The PCM monitors and adjusts the position of each camshaft based on desired torque levels and engine operating conditions. The PCM controls the solenoid operated control valves, one for each camshaft, that are used to direct oil pressure to adjusters attached to each camshaft. The oil pressure alters the angular position or phasing of each camshaft relative to crankshaft rotation. A sensor is used to monitor the position of each camshaft.

Diagnostic Test

1. DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any CMP sensor or CKP sensor DTCs before continuing with this test.

NOTE: Diagnose and repair any oil pressure or oil pressure sensor DTCs before continuing with this test.
