Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-6710

Condition




The engine control module (ECM) checks the angle of the camshaft (its position in relation to the crankshaft).
If Engine control module (ECM) detects that the exhaust camshaft's angle position changes dramatically during running, then Engine control module will interpret this as a failure and store a diagnostic trouble code.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be diagnosed when the engine is hot and the camshaft is in position 0.
For more information, see Design and Function.

Substitute value
- The Engine control module (ECM) switches off camshaft control.

Possible source
- Incorrectly adjusted camshafts
- The timing gear belt has jumped off the cogs
- Damaged camshaft reset valve
- Mechanical fault in the variable valve timing (VVT) unit.
