OBD Code P002D - B Camshaft Profile Control Circuit Open/Bank 2

<<See All OBD Codes

Facing issues like abnormal drive and problems with the throttle? Did you notice drop in the fuel efficiency and the constant stalling of the engine? Is your car’s Check Engine Light turning on more recently? All these indicate problems with the camshaft profile control circuit, flashing OBD Code P002D error.

The ECM (Engine Control Module) illuminates the CEL (Check Engine Light) with P002D and related codes when it detects a malfunction within the camshaft profile control circuit. P002D is set when there is an open within the bank 2 circuit.

Learn More About OBD Error Code P002D

P002D indicates faults in the camshaft sensors that are not able to catch the correct readings due to problems of wirings and connections and/or faulty fuel systems, transmission and catalytic converters.

The engine control module (PCM) uses a signal from the camshaft position sensor to determine the proper time to fire the fuel injector and ignite the spark plug. The PCM compares this signal to the signal from the crankshaft to determine if the engine is timed properly. If the Camshaft is not in the proper position relative to the crankshaft, the PCM will set code P002D.

What causes this problem with the Camshaft Profile Circuit Control?

  • Affected engine performance due to use of wrong or contaminated engine oil
  • Problems with the oil pressure due to faulty Oil Solenoid
  • Lack of signal transmission due to broken wiring and harness
  • Erratic engine behaviour due to faulty ECM/PCM
  • Electrical/Mechanical failure due to shortage
  • Cylinder power imbalance due to Stuck/Broken Valve

Symptoms Of OBD Error Code P002D

Reduced power from engine, problems with fuel delivery system resulting to high fuel consumptions and electrical/wiring problems are few of the indicatives of P002D code error. Visit Parts Avatar Canada to get genuine replacement parts for your vehicle available for all makes and model be it Volvo, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Porsche, Ford, Land Rover, Audi, Hyundai, Fiat, etc. This error may also indicate problems that will likely affect:

Common Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light On indicating P002D code problems
  • Damage in fuel delivery system causing degrade in engine response
  • Poor throttle response due to improper fuel combustion
  • Reduced fuel economy with increased consumption due to fuel pump leakages
  • Altered power bands due to ill-timed fuel pressure system leading to poor engine timing

How To Correct P002D "B" Camshaft Profile Control Circuit/Open Bank 2

Some of the common fixes for the problems in the OBD Code P002D for all makes and models are as follows;

 

  • Usage of correct specification of engine oil and avoiding any contamination
  • Check for any problem with the fuel injection system and/or the fuel pump and ignition coils
  • Start engine and check for proper engine operation and engine timing, as well as for cooling system leaks
  • Replace camshaft and crankshaft sensor if it is unable to collect and collate information from different car components
  • Repair or replace faulty wiring to the camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors
  • Examine ECM/PCM (Powertrain Control Module) for faults in connections and wiring
  • Replace stuck valve that might be causing irregular fuel supply and transmission issues. 

We have stocked a wide range of best priced ECM/PCM parts, transmission control systems, Car harness/wiring, solenoids, fuel pressure regulators and a lot more to help you out in fixing your car.

Easy Diagnosis Of Engine Error OBD Code P002D

P002D can be diagnosed properly using advanced scan tool capable of factory sensor readings. An experienced technician can collect and collate the data from the scanning tool to determine as to when the problem occurred. Physical checks and test runs are advisable to check is the error is returning or not.

 

Based upon the conditions of the test, possibly clearing the code, and road testing the car while monitoring the data, further diagnosis may be required. Diagnosis may require multiple tools such as:

 

  • An OBD-II scanner is used by the technician in order to verify that the code is present, and check for other codes indicating the same of different problem at different level.
  • To check the occurrence of error again, the previous data the collected and freeze and checked periodically.
  • The wiring and connectors are check visually for loose connections, corrosion, or shorts that might be the cause of dampened performance and the OBD error code P002D.
  • Specialized tools are used to test the camshaft/crankshaft sensors performance. These check if the error is occurring because of issue with the camshaft or crankshaft errors.

Common Mistakes When Diagnosing OBD Code P002D

 

Oftentimes the technician only emphasis on problems due to camshaft sensors neglecting many other components which might be responsible to P002D error code flashing in the scanner. Thus other components like exhaust systems, fuel delivery systems, electrical wiring and connections, valves and joint need to be examined as well to stop the error from flashing again.
