Question

Answer
Hi Mark -

A code P0011 refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module, also called an ECM). That consists of a few different components but the P0011 DTC specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is above a set limit (over-advanced), the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set. The "A" camshaft is either the intake, left, or front camshaft. A P0011 engine code is basically the same as a P0021 code, except this is for Bank 1, not Bank 2. (Bank 2 is the driver's side).

Hope this helps -
aloha
