P001C P001C OBD-II: Camshaft Profile Control Circuit High
What P001C means for you
This code indicates a moderate issue affecting engine timing and performance.
Symptoms
- Reduced engine performance
- Higher fuel consumption
Common causes
- The powertrain control module (PCM) relies on the camshaft position sensor to determine the timing for fuel injection and spark ignition. It cross-references this information with the crankshaft signal to ensure proper engine timing. In modern vehicles, a variable timing system is employed to optimize the camshaft timing relative to the crankshaft for enhanced fuel efficiency and performance. If the camshaft is misaligned with the crankshaft, the PCM will trigger code P001C.
