A Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit Low (Bank 2)
The intake (A) camshaft phaser solenoid drive line on bank 2 is stuck low — short to ground or stuck-low driver. Variable-valve timing on intake bank 2 cannot be modulated.
Affected components
- Camshaft position actuator
- Vvt solenoid
Common causes
- High likelihood: Short to ground in solenoid drive line
- Medium likelihood: Solenoid winding shorted internally
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Power loss especially in mid-rpm range
- Possible rough idle or stalling
- Increased fuel consumption
