P0010 - INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR CIRCUIT/OPEN (BANK 1)

The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the variable camshaft
timing (VCT) circuit to the PCM for high and low voltage. The test fails
Description:
if the voltage exceeds or falls below a calibrated limit for a calibrated
amount of time.
Open or short in the VCT circuit

Possible Causes:  Open VPWR circuit
 Open or short in the VCT solenoid valve
This DTC is a circuit check. Testing should include the harness and
Diagnostic Aids:
solenoid coil.

P0011 - INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING - OVER-ADVANCED (BANK 1)

timing (VCT) position for an over-advanced camshaft timing. The test fails
Description:
when the camshaft timing exceeds a maximum calibrated value or remains
in an advanced position.
 Camshaft timing incorrectly set
 Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
Possible Causes:
 VCT solenoid valve stuck open
 Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit)
This DTC is a functional check of the VCT unit. Diagnose any base engine
concerns related to the engine oil pressure or engine timing. Refer to the
ENGINE SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION -- E-SERIES , Oil
Diagnostic Aids:
Pressure Test, to check the engine oil pressure. Refer to the ENGINE -

P050A - COLD START IDLE AIR CONTROL PERFORMANCE

The cold start emission reduction monitor has detected an airflow
performance deficiency. The cold start emission reduction monitor
validates the operation of the components of the system required to
achieve the cold start emission reduction strategy, retarded spark timing
(P050B) and elevated idle airflow (P050A). When the idle airflow test
Description:
portion of the cold start emission reduction strategy is enabled, the idle
air control system requests a higher idle RPM to increase the engine
airflow. The cold start emission reduction monitor compares the actual
airflow measured by the MAF sensor to the requested PCM airflow. The
DTC is set when the airflow is less than the calibrated limit.
 Damaged intake air system tubes
 Restricted air filter
Possible Causes:  Restricted or blocked idle air control or intake passages
 Air or vacuum leaks
 Base engine problem
This DTC is an informational DTC and may be accompanied by other

DTCs. Diagnose other DTCs first. If other DTCs are not present inspect
Diagnostic Aids: the intake air system for air restrictions and damage. If no concerns are
present, clear the DTCs and repeat the self-test.
The cold start emission reduction monitor runs during a cold start. Before
repeating the self-test, a 2 to 3 hour soak period is required for the cold

Description: DTC is stored in continuous memory if any of the OBD monitors do not
carry out their full diagnostic check.
 The vehicle is new from the factory
 Battery or powertrain control module (PCM) had recently been

Possible Causes:  An OBD monitor concern occurred before completion of an OBD
drive cycle
 PCM DTCs have recently been cleared with a scan tool
 Power take off (PTO) circuit concern or PTO is on during testing.
This DTC, inspection/maintenance (I/M) readiness function is part of the

PCM strategy. A battery disconnection or clearing codes using a scan
tool results in the various I/M readiness bits being set to a not-ready
condition. As each non-continuous OBD monitor completes a full
diagnostic check, the I/M readiness bit associated with that monitor is set
to a ready condition. This may take 1 or 2 drive cycles based on whether
concerns are detected or not. The readiness bits for comprehensive
component monitoring (CCM), misfire and fuel system monitoring are

considered complete once all the non-continuous monitors have been
evaluated. Because the EVAP system monitor requires certain ambient
conditions to run, special logic can bypass the monitor for the purpose of
clearing the EVAP and I/M readiness bit, due to continued presence of
these extreme conditions. DTC P1000 does not need to be cleared from
the PCM except to pass an I/M test. The malfunction indicator lamp

Description:
Network DTC(s) occur during module-to-module communication
concerns. Two types of network concerns can be categorized:
 Invalid data network concerns - data is transferred within the

normal inter-module message, but contains known invalid data.
Possible Causes: The transmitting module logs a DTC related to the invalid data
concern.
