My 2009 Nissan Maxima is reading code p0014 which deals with exhaust valve timing. I've researched it on the Internet, and it says replace the exhaust valve timing control solenoid. I've looked everywhere for this part. I even called the dealership. They said they've never heard of it. What is the part I need to fix this problem?

When was the last time you changed your oil? Call your dealership and ask if they can pull the TSB that is listed in the pdf.

 

Just had the oil changed, and put some b-12 in on the last fill up.

I had the same issue with an older 3.5 altima. The code popped up right after replacing the timing chain/tensioner assembly. In my case replacing the solenoid wasn't necessary, it just needed to be cleaned...

 

Which solenoid did you clean?

 

I didn't do the job myself but if I remember correctly theres a camshaft advance solenoid for each bank. one of mine was dirty and popped the cam timing over advanced code a day or two after the cam chain assembly was replaced...

 

Intake side is on the inside of the V (hehe) and exhaust is on the outside. If you are looking at the front of the engine (standing in front of the passenger side wheel) there are two sensors bolted to the side of each head. The inside two are intake amd the outside two are exhaust.
