P0022 P0022 OBD-II: Camshaft Position Timing Over-Retarded
What P0022 means for you
This code indicates a timing issue that can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Symptoms
- Reduced engine performance
- Higher fuel consumption
Common causes
- The powertrain control module (PCM) relies on input from the camshaft position sensor to accurately time the fuel injection and ignition processes. It cross-references this data with the crankshaft position to ensure proper engine timing. In modern vehicles, a variable valve timing system is employed to optimize the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency. If the camshaft is misaligned with the crankshaft, the PCM will trigger code P0022.
