What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module monitors the exhaust camshaft position, bank 1, and has found that it does not match the commanded position. The code is a general fault with no more specific description of the fault. It is only set when the engine is running and camshaft control is active, and camshaft control is then switched off.
Possible causes
- Low engine oil pressure
- Poor quality engine oil
- Faulty camshaft control valve
- Mechanical fault in the VVT unit
What you can do

- 2Check the engine oil level and quality on the dipstick, especially if the oil is contaminated
- 3If you have a diagnostic tool: activate exhaust camshaft control and check that it responds
