The valve is controlled electrically - if there's a bad contact somewhere on the line then the error signaling ill be triggered. Check the cable with the 2 wires that plugs into the valve all the way to the connector of the ECM.

What is the year and model as well as the engine size in your Acura? This code is usually related to the bank 1 camshaft position sensor circuit.

  • Anonymous Jan 27, 2011

    Replacing the camshaft position sensor should correct this issue. There are two sensors, one on each side of the engine, and they look like this;








      The camshaft position sensor identifies position of the camshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM).

      When not replaced, vehicle could experience no- or hard start, long crank time, misfire, lack of power, excessive hydrocarbons in oil, spark plug fouling, catalytic converter failure, poor fuel economy, CEL/MIL illumination or intermittent shutdown.

    The sensors are mounted under the timing cover and are near each camshaft gear.

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2011

    You need an oscilloscope to check the signal, which I'm sure you do not have. Replace the sensor.

If it's not the pedal, it has to be throttle body, senor or harness related.

SOURCE: Check engine light on

the last two codes you rote have somthing to do with the electronic throttle control. the gas control is no longer controlled by a gas cable but is now all controlled electrical. so this is not a self fixer. must be checked by dealer or someone that knows what thay are doing.

SOURCE: engine code P0010 canshaft position

The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the exhaust camshaft. There is no variation in valve timing of the exhaust cam because the exhaust camshaft is driven by the timing belt. The timing of the intake cam is varied by the relative operation the CVVT vane to the housing. This system helps the engine decrease exhaust gases and increase engine power and fuel economy by changing the valve open/close timing of the intake camshaft.

The code you are getting can be caused by a mechanical problem with the CVVT or with an Engine Control Module (ECM) malfunction. The most common cause of a mechanical failure of this system is debris clogging the very small oil ports that control the position of the CVVT vane hub. Improper oil viscosity can affect this as well as deposits caused by not changing oil at the specified intervals.

There is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that deals with properly checking the CVVT system for mechanical/electrical failures. It is bulletin Number 09-EM-002.

Engine light codes p0010 & p0011, replaced intake solenoid valve kit, and 3 weeks later. same codes p0010 & p0011 return

code p 0010 refers to camshaft position (CMP) actuator, intake /left/front, bank 1---circuit malfunction====causes --wiring---CMP actuator---ECM
code p 0011 refers to camshaft position (CMP) sensor , intake /left/front, bank 1--timing over-advanced/system performance===causes ---valve timing---engine mechanical fault--cmp actuator-wiring
if the engine is running as expected , it would be logical to eliminate mechanical and valve timing fault
buy replacing what you have , it is possible that there is a wiring connection problem that you temporarily fixed by moving the harness around
At this point it indicates problem CMP sensors, so take it to an accredited service specialist that has experience on your make of vehicle and get a diagnosis done and a quote

P0010 code

P0010 on a Hyundai means your camshaft positioning oil control valve solenoid is screwed up. Could be the wiring to that, as well. Check the wiring first, if any loose connectors, clean and reseat and see if code stays cleared. If not, the solenoid needs replacing. The VVT (variable valve timing) system on this engine has been troublesome, and Hyundais in general are troublesome. People only buy them because they're cheap and disposable. There are cases where a P0010 is indicated a faulty ECM...big bucks.

Where is located thecam sensor on a jetta 1.8L

A P0010 code refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module). That consists of an oil control valve (OCV), also called a solenoid valve and other components. Basically the check engine light and associated P0010 trouble code means that the voltage in the circuit has fallen below a set limit for a specific amount of time (varies by make/model/engine).

Carefully inspect the Bank 1 VVT/VCT system circuit wiring and connectors, repair as required
With a warm engine, test the operation of the OCV, replace/repair as needed.

I HAVE p0010 code Problem.CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR CIRCUIT

P0010 - "A" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)

A P0010 code refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module). That consists of an oil control valve (OCV), also called a solenoid valve and other components. Basically the check engine light and associated P0010 trouble code means that the voltage in the circuit has fallen below a set limit for a specific amount of time (varies by make/model/engine).

Symptoms may include:
* Check Engine Light illuminated (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
* Rough running
* other symptoms may also be present

Causes: A code P0010 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
* Faulty oil control valve (OCV)
* Open or short in the VVT/VCT circuit
* Open or short in the OCV / solenoid valve
* Damaged computer (PCM)

Possible Solutions: Some recommended troubleshooting and repair steps are:
* Carefully inspect the Bank 1 VVT/VCT system circuit wiring and connectors, repair as required
* With a warm engine, test the operation of the OCV, replace/repair as needed


Hope this helps to solve it (remember to rate this answer).
