Here is the definition for code 11.
P0011 NISSAN Description
Problem with the intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM
sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control
solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to
control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine
torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.
The
intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and
direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil
flow. The longer pulse width advances valve angle. The shorter pulse
width retards valve angle. When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal,
the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle
at the control position.
Could be a problem with the control valve, oil flow to the valve, or one of the cam or crank sensors.
