BANK 1 INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING CODE

P0010 code can also be set if the ECM detects a low voltage from the sensor. If the wires to the camshaft actuator are damaged, the sensor fails or is disconnected, it will signal an open or short circuit that triggers the check engine light to come on. The ECM constantly monitors the camshaft actuator circuit. The engine control module uses this actuator for advancing or retarding the timing. The function of the actuator is to regulate the oil pressure, thus varying the cam timing. OBD2 P0010 code gets stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM or ECU) when there is a problem with the camshaft position actuator electrical circuit. Domestic cars such as Ford may call the VVT system “Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT)” and VVT actuators “phasers.” Korean manufacturers, such as Hyundai, refer to the VVT solenoids as “oil control valves (OCVs).” What Does P0010 Code Mean? While Volkswagen and other german manufacturers call it the camshaft position actuator, Japanese manufacturers call it the variable valve timing (VVT) actuator. The camshaft Position Actuator is often referred to as the VVT actuator.

Car manufacturers use different names for the VVT system and actuators. Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system is used to get more power and increase fuel efficiency as engine RPMs vary.
