Diagnostic Trouble Code
P0010 — Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit
Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit
Definition
The ECM has detected an issue with the intake camshaft position actuator circuit on Bank 1. This actuator controls variable valve timing (VVT) by adjusting camshaft position relative to crankshaft position to optimize engine performance and emissions.
Common Causes
- Faulty camshaft position actuator solenoid
- Wiring harness damage or short in the actuator circuit
- Low or contaminated engine oil restricting actuator movement
- Failed ECM (rare)
