Fault text
Inlet camshaft: offset angle to crankshaft outside tolerance

Fault description
The diagnostic function monitors the offset angle between
crankshaft and camshaft.

Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
The fault is recognized when the camshaft's reference
position does not align with the specified position.
Potential problem source(s):
- Loose center bolt
- Camshaft position sensor reluctor ring out of adjustment
- Timing chain has jumped time
- Defective timing chain (stretched)
Terminal condition: none
Voltage condition:
- Onboard electrical system voltage between 9 V and 16 V
Temperature condition:
- None
Time condition:
- None
Other conditions:
- Engine on
- After execution of camshaft position sensor adaptation

Condition for fault memory entry
Camshaft reference position has shifted by more than or and
the camshaft has executed rotations.

Action in service
- When intake and exhaust camshafts display simultaneous
angular offset errors relative to crankshaft: Check center bolt
- Check camshaft position sensor reluctor ring
- Check timing chain
- Check valve timing

Fault effect and breakdown warning
Breakdown notice:
The engine reverts to its emergency limp-home program,
continued vehicle operation is possible, because power is
reduced the driver should refrain from passing maneuvers.
Possible apparent symptoms:
