P0010 Camshaft Position "A" Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)
The VVT (variable valve timing) system adjusts the intake valve timing to improve driveability. The engine oil pressure turns the camshaft timing gear assembly to adjust the valve timing.
The camshaft timing oil control valve assembly is a solenoid valve and switches the engine oil line. The valve moves when the ECM applies the 12 V to the solenoid. The ECM changes the energizing time to the solenoid (duty-cycle) in accordance with the camshaft position, crankshaft position, throttle position, etc.
