DTC P0010-00; Electric Variable Valve Timing Control Circuit Range/Performance Problem: Notes

DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0010:00 Electric variable valve timing control circuit range/performance problem
DETECTION CONDITION
  • Any one of the following conditions is met:
    • A malfunction is detected in the results of the on-board diagnostic test received from the electric variable valve timing driver.
      • The motor speed signal received from the electric variable valve timing driver is in error.
Diagnostic support note
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
  • Stops activation of the electric variable valve timing driver.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
