DTC P0011: General Description

Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The variable valve timing control (VTC) system controls the timing of the intake camshaft. It uses motor to operate the VTC actuator so the valve timing is optimized depending on driving conditions. The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the phase control command and the actual timing of the camshaft by using camshaft position (CMP) sensor A. If the phase difference between them is excessive for a certain time period, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
