Just got this code yesterday, can someone help me out
on the autozone machine it said camshaft position actuator- advanced timing
-J

 

What are the symptoms of your car right now?

 

no symptoms....just SES light
-J

 

Go reset the ECU, then see if it comes back. Codes like that are usually a fluke.

 

SAME HERE...well see if it goes away....

 

When you were at the dealer, did you have the timing advanced?

 

holy sh*T!!!! I pulled hte same exact code today along with the P0138.

i dont notice anything wiered about the cars drivability.

 

not usually a fluke...i had to replace my sensors, same exact code. no apparent drivability issues but i do think i got less miles per gallon (and right after they changed too)

Possible Causes:

Harness or connectors (Intake valve timing control solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted.)
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
Crankshaft position sensor (POS)
Camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
Accumulation of debris to the signal pick-up portion of the camshaft


I ignored the code for a little while and now my maxima sounds like crap, I'm bringing it to the dealer on tuesday... hopefully its not a big thing

 

yea mine was actually the solenoid valve
