P2092
DTC P2088, P2090, P2092, or P2094
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 less than a predetermined value when the circuit is commanded OFF, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
* DTC P2088 Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1
* DTC P2090 Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1
* DTC P2092 Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2
* DTC P2094 Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit Low 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.
* The ECM has commanded the CMP actuator solenoid ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.
* DTC P2088, P2090, P2092, and P2094 runs continuously once the above conditions are met for more than 1 second.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The ECM detects a short to ground 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:
* Use the J 35616 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 ODM information is in the output driver module (ODM) data list.
* If the ignition 1 voltage circuit is shorted to ground, other component DTCs will set.
* For an intermittent condition, Refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions
Test Description
Step 1 - Step 9:
Step 10 - Step 13:
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if the condition exists. The engine speed must be increased to enable the CMP actuator solenoids. The DTC will not set unless the solenoid is commanded ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.
5. This step verifies that the ECM is providing a ground to the CMP actuator solenoid.
