Camshaft A Position Signal Output Circuit Low Bank 1

Moderate severity

What it means

The buffered camshaft A position output that the engine controller sends to other modules (transmission, body, ignition module) is below the expected level on bank 1. Other modules cannot use the cam phase reference for synchronisation.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Output wire shorted to ground

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Output buffer transistor failed

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
