P002D - OBD II Trouble Code

Our automotive experts have put together the following information about the P002D diagnostic trouble code. We've provided the common symptoms that occur when this code is set along with the frequent repairs that address the issues related to the P002D code.

OBD II Fault Code

• OBD II P002D

OBD-II Code Decreased engine performance is defined as a "B" Camshaft Profile Control Circuit/Open

The engine control module (PCM) uses a signal from the camshaft position sensor to determine the proper time to fire the fuel injector and ignite the spark plug. The PCM compares this signal to the signal from the crankshaft to determine if the engine is timed properly. Newer vehicle's use a variable timing system to adjust the timing of the camshaft in relation to the crankshaft to increase fuel efficiency and performance. If the Camshaft is not in the proper position relative to the crankshaft, the PCM will set code P002D.

Decreased engine performance Symptoms

• Decreased engine performance
• Increased fuel consumption

Common Problems That Trigger the P002D Code

• Camshaft variable timing solenoid failure
• Engine oil level is too low
• The engine is not timing correctly
• The engine oil does not meet the manufacturer's requirements
• Variable valve timing actuator failure
• Worn timing chain

Common Repairs Needed for the P002D Code
