Variable Valve Timing Code p0011 p0010 p0012 p0013 p0014 p0028 (Don’t Waste Money)

In this video, I’ll show you how to test a variable valve timing control solenoid. Commonly known to set timing codes p0011 p0010 p0012 and p0013.

There are a few things you should do before replacing a variable valve timing solenoid. Make sure the oil is full and in good condition. Is it a good idea it is a good idea to change the engine oil is this code has set just to be sure it’s not causing any problems

If changing the oil does not help with these codes I would recommend removing the variable valve timing control solenoid and cleaning it and checking on the screen for the breeze. Reinstall sensor clear codes and retest.

It is often unnecessary to replace the variable valve timing control solenoids. And typically VVT solenoids need to be cleaned. In the next video, I show you how to bench test and check a variable valve timing control solenoid.

Variable valve timing is very common in vehicles nowadays. So it’s important that you keep your engine oil changed regularly. To ensure that variable valve timing solenoids and actuators perform properly throughout the vehicle’s lifetime.
