Volvo: convert code for me, s80 t6, camshaft position


Question
I have a 2000 S80 T6 with the check engine light on.  pulled into a shop (not dealer) and they gave me code P1332.  they could not give me any info because they said its a manufacturer specific code.   HELP?? i've been putting too much money into my car lately..

Answer
Angie,           P1332 is Volvo code ECM-644A
Condition
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-644A is stored in the engine control module (ECM) if the camshaft is not in the correct position. The engine control module (ECM) registers this as a fault as soon as the engine is started.

The engine control module (ECM) registers a fault and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-644A is stored in the engine control module (ECM) if the camshaft position (CMP) sensor flanker is not correct in relation to the engine speed (RPM) sensor.

The engine control module (ECM) registers a fault and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-644A is stored in the engine control module (ECM) if the camshaft does not rotate quickly enough in response to the control signal.

Condition
the variable camshaft is disabled

Possible source

Faulty position
camshaft belt has jumped out of place on the cogs
defective reset valve
mechanical fault in the Variable valve timing (VVT) unit

Faulty control
defective camshaft position (CMP) sensor

Control too slow
open-circuit in signal cable
open-circuit in power cable
contact resistance
short-circuit to ground in signal cable
short-circuit to supply voltage in the signal cable
low oil pressure
poor oil quality
defective reset valve
mechanical fault in the Variable valve timing (VVT) unit

Condition
poor performance
