Customer Concern: Setting codes P0011 and P0021 for Intake Valve Timing (IVT) control.

Average Reported Mileage: 102846

Tests/Procedures: 1. Check the engine oil level and condition. If the engine oil is low, it could set these codes.

2. If the oil is good, check for power on the Red/Yellow wire bank 1 and an on/off signal at 2000 RPM on the Red wire. On bank 2, check the Red wire for power and the Green wire for the on/off signal when the engine is a revved to 2000 RPM.

3. If the signal is good, then the Engine Control Module (ECM) is trying to control the camshaft timing. Manually ground the signal wires to see if a change in the way the engine idles can be heard. If so, the solenoids are working. If not, the solenoids could be stuck.

4. The resistance of the IVT solenoids is 7.5 ohms at 70°F.

Tech Tips: The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends on/off pulse signals to the camshaft timing control valve, depending on driving status.
