What is a camshaft position actuator circuit Bank 1?
What Does the P0010 Code Mean? Code P0010 stands for “A” Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1). The code indicates that your car’s primary computer, which is also referred to as the powertrain control module (PCM), perceives a problem with one of the engine’s VVT solenoids.
Where is the camshaft actuator located?
The intake camshaft actuator features a gray electrical plug and is located closer to the front of the vehicle on the top of the cylinder head.
Do a visual inspection of the bank 1 variable valve timing (VVT) control solenoid valve. Make sure to repair any frayed or faulty wiring or connectors. Once you have done this, clear the code and rescan to see if it is still present. Check to see if there is any engine sludge present.
What is a intake camshaft position actuator circuit?
Vehicles equipped with variable valve timing (VVT) use a special solenoid called a Camshaft Position Actuator. This solenoid is capable of regulating the oil pressure thus controlling the cam timing. The P0010 code is set when the ECU detects a low voltage in the VVT circuit corresponding to the bank 1 intake cam.
How much does it cost to replace a camshaft actuator?
In a lot of cases, you will have to pay for multiple parts which can cost $1,000 or more on high-end cars. Since it can take hours to replace the actuator, you can expect to pay hundreds of dollars in labor, usually starting at around $300 and going up to $1,000 or more.
What to do if engine is knocking?
Some of the ways in which you can fix engine knocking include:
Why is my car knocking when I accelerate?
Engine Knock. If you detect a rapid pinging, tapping sound coming from the engine as you drive, your engine could be suffering from knock. You may find this problem gets worse as you accelerate. Engine knock can also be caused by incorrect ignition timing, an incorrect air/fuel ratio or a malfunctioning knock sensor.
