What is the P0024 fault code? What does it signify?
Modern vehicles often have variable valve timing (VVT), which allows for high fuel efficiency and improves engine performance. If the powertrain controller module (PCM), detects a problem in the camshaft position relative or crankshaft, P0024 is set. “Bank 2”, refers to the engine without cylinder #1. The exhaust camshaft is called “B”.
VVT is an engine technology that improves performance and reduces fuel consumption. It adjusts the timing between the crankshaft and camshaft, changing the timing of valve opening and closing.
The camshaft is responsible for the precise opening and closing of both the intake- and exhaust valves. The timing belt or chain connects it to the crankshaft. The camshaft position sensor, or CMP (camshaft position sensor), is attached to the camshaft. This sensor is used by the PCM to monitor speed and position. If the camshaft timing exceeds or advances beyond the limit, the P0024 fault codes is activated. This means that the fault code P0024 is recorded if the exhaust camshaft position is not correct relative to the crankshaft.
What is the P0024 Fault Code?
Below is a listing of the most popular reasons for setting P0024.
- – Defective VVT oil control valve (OCV)
- Low engine oil
- – Incorrect engine timing
- – Oil with an insufficient viscosity.
- – Defective VVT actuator (phaser)
- – Worn timing chains
- – A defective timing guide or tensioner
- – Blockage of the camshaft phaser channels by thick or dirty oil
- – VVT circuit issues such as loose or damaged connections or wiring
What are the symptoms for P0024’s Fault Code?
These are the signs you need to be aware of when you encounter a P0024 error code. Here are some common symptoms that this fault code can cause.
- – Illumination for the check engine light
- – Engine hard start
- – The engine is noisy
- Engine stalling
- – Engine makes clicking and knocking noises
- – Engine hesitation during acceleration
- – Increased fuel consumption
- – An increase in exhaust emissions values
- – Engine could switch to malfunction mode (Limp Mod)
- – Possiblely other symptoms
Note: These symptoms can vary depending on the timing of your camshaft.
How to Fix the P0024 Fault Code
- – Replacing dirty engine oil and filter with the wrong viscosity
- – Filling in the gap for engine oil
- – Repair or replace wiring to the bank 2 exhaust camshaft oil control valve
- – Replacing the oil control valve for the exhaust camshaft oil in bank 2
How serious is the P0024 Fault code?
P0024 fault code must be taken seriously. You may notice the engine acting erratically. It might stall, hesitate, or start hard. The camshaft position can affect the amount of fuel consumed and carbon deposits found in engine components. Emissions values can increase. If the problem is not addressed promptly, serious engine damage could occur.
