Conditions for Running the DTC |

DTC P0010, P0011, P0013, P0014, P0020, P0021, P0023, P0024, P0341, P0342, P0343, P0346, P0347, P0348, P0366, P0367, P0368, P0391, P0392, P0393, P2088, P2089, P2090, P2091, P2092, P2093, P2094, or P2095 is not set. |
• |
The engine is operating for greater than 2 s. |
• |
The engine must accelerate such that the CMP actuator system is commanded from the park position to the phased position. This is considered a cam control cycle. There must be a minimum of 2 cam control cycles for at least 2.5 s each, in the phased position. |
• |
DTC P0008 and P0009 run continuously once the above conditions are met, approximately 600 s. |

Diagnostic Aids |
• |
Inspect the engine for any recent engine mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed secondary timing chain can cause this DTC to set. |
• |
A single failed camshaft actuator or actuator solenoid valve will not cause this DTC to set. This diagnostic algorithm is designed to detect an alignment condition between a primary intermediate sprocket and the secondary timing chain, or the alignment between a primary intermediate sprocket and the crankshaft. Either condition would cause the camshaft timing for both cams on one bank to be off an equal number of degrees. |
• |
The presence of DTCs P0008 and P0009 along with P0016, P0017, P0018, and P0019 indicates a possible condition with the primary timing chain and the alignment between both intermediate sprockets and the crankshaft. Or, the crankshaft reluctor wheel has moved and is no longer referenced to top dead center (TDC). |
• |
Observe the desired and actual camshaft angle parameters with a scan tool before a DTC sets. This may help to isolate whether a condition is specific to one camshaft, one bank, or caused by a condition with the primary crankshaft timing. |
Reference Information |
Circuit/System Verification |
1. |
Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. |
2. |
Allow the engine to reach the normal operating temperature. |
3. |
Idle the engine for 10 minutes or until a DTC sets. Check the DTC Info with a scan tool. Diagnostic trouble codes P0008 and P0009 must not be activated. |
4. |
Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. |
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Inspect the timing chains and tensioners for excessive wear or misalignment. |
2. |
If you find a condition with the timing chains or tensioners, repair as necessary. |
3. |
Inspect the crankshaft reluctor wheel for being mis-positioned on the crankshaft. |
4. |
If you find a condition with the crankshaft, repair as necessary. |
