What does this fault code mean?
The intake variable cam profile (A) has stuck on bank 1, which covers cylinders 1, 2 and 4. Intake manifold pressure is lower than expected for that bank compared with bank 2.
Possible causes
- The cam profile solenoid is dirty or damaged
- The oil passages to the variable cam profile are blocked
What you can do
- 1Start the engine and use a diagnostic tool to check whether the fault code is active now
- 2If you have a diagnostic tool, check that the bank 1 solenoid responds when you activate it
- 3Check the connector on the solenoid for bank 1 for corrosion and loose contacts
- 4Impurities and cast debris in the oil can make the solenoid stick. Cleaning is usually enough, and a workshop should carry it out
- 5If the fault returns after two cleanings, the solenoid should be replaced
Symptoms you may notice5
- Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lights up
- Idle is uneven
- Engine is difficult to start
- Poor performance
- High fuel consumption
What the fault can affect1
- Both banks of the variable cam profile end up in high lift
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
