Common causes
- Low engine oil level
- Low oil pressure
- Dirty or contaminated engine oil
- Faulty CMP actuator solenoid
- Missing CMP actuator solenoid screen
- Worn timing chain
Diagnostic steps
- Check engine oil level and condition
- Test oil pressure
- Inspect CMP actuator solenoid and screen
- Monitor camshaft position with scan tool
- Check timing chain tension
Repair notes
Start by checking oil level and quality. Clean or replace CMP actuator solenoid. If solenoid screen is missing, replace solenoid and change oil/filter.
