P0025 P0025 OBD-II: "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded

P0025 Severity Moderate

What P0025 means for you

This code indicates a moderate issue affecting engine timing and performance.

Symptoms

  • Reduced engine power
  • 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 signal to ensure proper engine timing. In modern vehicles, a variable timing system is employed to optimize the camshaft timing relative to the crankshaft, enhancing both fuel efficiency and overall performance. If the camshaft is misaligned with the crankshaft, the PCM triggers the P0025 code.
