Variable Cam Timing Malfunction in 2003 NB
Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2021 5:38 pm
The check engine light on my 2003 NB came on and my OBD2 scanner gave a code that says that the intake cam variable timing system is malfunctioning. The intake cam timing isn't advancing properly. This problem is a new one on me.
The first thing that comes to mind is failure of the solenoid. Does anyone know whether it's possible to diagnose the specific causes for the failure of my variable timing malfunction? Is there a way to test the solenoid? Is there a way to test other parts of the system? Would a repair shop have better diagnostic tools to identify different components of the cam timing system?
I appreciate the wisdom of those who are smarter than me. What are your thoughts?
