DTC P0010 or P0013

The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - inlet and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust are attached to each camshaft and is operated hydraulically in order to change the angle of the camshaft relative to crankshaft position. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - inlet and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust are controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM sends a pulse width modulated signal to a camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - inlet and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust solenoids. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - inlet and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust solenoids controls the amount of engine oil flow to a camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - inlet and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - inlet and camshaft position actuator solenoid valve - exhaust can change the camshaft angle by a maximum of 20°. The ECM increases the pulse width to accomplish the desired camshaft operation.

The ECM controls the solenoid 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.

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.

DTCs P0010 00, and P0013 00, are Type B DTCs.

DTCs P0010 00, and P0013 00, are Type B DTCs.

If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the scan tool Camshaft Position Sensor solenoid circuit status parameters. The circuit status parameters will change from OK, or Not Run, to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or connection.

Note: The engine oil level and the oil pressure are critical to the correct operation of the camshaft position actuator system. Verify that the engine has the correct oil level and the correct oil pressure before continuing with this diagnostic.

Refer to Engine Mechanical Specifications : 1.8L 2H0 .

1. Ignition ON, command the appropriate Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve or Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve ON and OFF with a scan tool. You should hear the solenoid click when commanded ON and OFF.
2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

1. Ignition OFF for 1 min, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust solenoid.
2. Verify a test lamp illuminates between the control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminates between the control circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2.

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the low reference circuit for an ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. Command the appropriate Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve or Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp turn ON and OFF according to the commanded state.

⇒	If the test lamp does not correspond to the commanded state, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage. If the circuit test, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

5. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust.

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Inlet or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust.
2. Test for 7-12 Ω between the terminals of the Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust solenoid.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust solenoid.

3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the appropriate Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust housing.

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the Q6F Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Intake or Q6E Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve - Exhaust solenoid.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
