2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0010 indicates a problem in the circuit that controls the actuator of the intake camshaft of bank 1. This may result in poor engine performance, reduced power, or stalling.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated

  • Rough idling or stalling

  • Decreased engine performance or power

  • Engine misfires

  • Poor fuel efficiency

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty camshaft position actuator solenoid

  • Wiring issues in the camshaft position actuator circuit, such as open or short circuits

  • Faulty camshaft position sensor

  • Engine oil contamination or low oil level

  • Timing chain or belt issues

  • Failed engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Camshaft Position Actuator: The camshaft position actuator controls the position of the camshaft to regulate fuel injection. Problems lead to stalling or car failing to start.

Possible Solutions:

  • Test and replace the faulty camshaft position actuator solenoid, if necessary

  • Check and repair any wiring issues in the camshaft position actuator circuit, such as open or short circuits

  • Test and replace the faulty camshaft position sensor, if necessary

  • Ensure the engine oil is at the correct level and free from contamination

  • Inspect and repair any timing chain or belt issues

  • Test and replace the engine control module (ECM) if it is determined to be faulty
