Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2/Mode 12) is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • Eccentric shaft position plate malfunction
  • Eccentric shaft position sensor connector or terminals malfunction
  • Eccentric shaft position sensor is dirty
  • Eccentric shaft position sensor malfunction
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • PCM malfunction
