What P0026 means for you
This code indicates a moderate issue with the intake valve control system that can affect engine performance.
Symptoms
- Reduced engine efficiency
- Higher fuel consumption
Common causes
- The Intake Valve Control Solenoid regulates the exhaust valve's position using oil pressure and an electrical signal. Modern vehicles often feature variable valve timing (VVT), which allows the engine control module (PCM) to optimize the exhaust valve's timing for better fuel efficiency and performance. If the PCM detects a problem with the signal from the Intake Valve Control Solenoid, it triggers code P0026.
