A Rocker Arm Actuator Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1
The position sensor reading does not transition cleanly between the two valve lift modes on bank 1. Sensor drift or mechanical wear leaves the signal between expected values.
Affected components
- Rocker arm position sensor a b1
- Actuator mechanism
Common causes
- Medium likelihood: Sensor signal drift after thermal aging
- Medium likelihood: Worn lock pin reduces travel between modes
- Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
