A Camshaft Profile Actuator A Control Circuit High Bank 2
Excessively high control voltage at the cam profile actuator (intake, profile A, bank 2). Same fault as P001C on bank 2. The cam phaser actuator adjusts intake/exhaust timing under load — a stuck or slow phaser kills mid-rpm torque and can throw correlation codes between cam and crank.
Affected components
- Cam profile actuator
- Actuator wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Wiring shorted to battery voltage
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Power loss especially in mid-rpm range
- Possible rough idle or stalling
- Increased fuel consumption
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions
