Circuit Description
The camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoid is pulse width modulated (PWM). The engine control module (ECM) controls the CMP actuator solenoid duty cycle by controlling the amount of solenoid ON time.
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the CMP actuator solenoid. The ECM controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. If the ECM detects the control circuit voltage is more than a predetermined value when the circuit is commanded ON, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
| • | DTC P2089 Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 |
| • | DTC P2091 Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit High Voltage Bank 1 |
| • | DTC P2093 Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit High Voltage Bank 2 |
| • | DTC P2095 Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit High Voltage Bank 2 |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine speed is more than 80 RPM. |
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is between 10-18 volts. |
| • | DTC P2089, P2091, P2093, and P2095 runs continuously once the above conditions are met for more than 1 second. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The ECM detects a short to voltage in the CMP actuator solenoid circuits. |
| • | The condition exists for more than 4 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
The following table illustrates the ECM connector locations:

C1 | C2 |
Front of Vehicle | |
| • | Use the J 35616-A/BT-8637 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector. |
| • | If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the circuit status for the component with a scan tool. The circuit status parameter changes from OK or Indeterminate to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection. The output driver module (ODM) information is in the ODM data list. |
| • | For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions . |
