Summary
This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about a concern with diagnostic trouble codes P0011 P0014 P0016 or P0017 in the engine control module after a repair involving the camshaft actuators. There is a unique black plastic oil sleeve that is between the end of the cam actuator and the camshaft. This sleeve directs oil into the actuator to adjust the timing. If the sleeve is damaged or missing, the engine control module cannot control the cam actuator movement and will set the diagnostic trouble codes.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 1,027 complaints in the electrical category.
