Fault text
VANOS, inlet: control fault, camshaft jammed
Fault description
The diagnostic function monitors the camshaft timing
adjustment.
Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
The fault is recognized when the actual angle fails to
conform to the specified angle while the engine is running.
Potential problem source(s):
- Contaminated oil passage at VANOS solenoid valve
- Oil pressure too low
- Defect in wiring harness to VANOS solenoid valve
- VANOS solenoid valve seized
- VANOS solenoid valve defective
Terminal condition: none
Voltage condition:
- Onboard electrical system voltage between 9 V and 16 V
Temperature condition:
- Engine warmed to normal temp, above 80 °C
Time condition:
- None
Other conditions:
- Engine on
- Specified/actual angle difference exceeds 15� crankshaft
Condition for fault memory entry
The diagnostic fault code is logged when the fault remains present for longer than 1 min.
Action in service
- Check oil level, change engine oil and filter as indicated
- If faults related to the camshaft position sensor have been
logged, repair these first
- Check wiring harness between VANOS solenoid valve and
DME
- Perform system test
- Check camshaft and VANOS unit for freedom of
movement and mechanical damage
- Clean VANOS solenoid valve, replace as required
