How to Fix P0010 Engine Code in 4 Minutes [2 DIY Methods / Only $6.53]

[@nondainc]

Hi, I'm Steve, nonda's lead mechanic engineer. Feel free to leave your comments here if you have any mechanic questions, I will be glad to help you out!

I have a 2010 audi a5, and I have the same P0010 code, I've changed the oil and change the camshaft position sensor, but the code still comes back up after resetting it. What else should I look for

[@leo4870]

@@ItssTroyy any update?

[@kennethdandurand3472]

@@ItssTroyy First, understand the code. Open Circuit. Your CPsensor and OCV may be in perfect condition...same with oil. BUT the electricity is not flowing to the item/s. So, you need to find out WHY you are getting no juice. I believe you should be getting 12 v reading at terminal B of your OCV. If not, then check your wiring.

My husband just replaced the timing chain in his 08 Ford Expedition EL and it’s still sputtering. He hooked the code reader up to it and got a P0010 code, but our friend said that the timing is off a little, thus causing it to not idle correctly. I’m just curious here on this video. What does the oil have to do with timing? Walmart changed the oil in this vehicle last month and when we picked it up, it sounded like it was going to fall apart!!!

Thanks, after cleaning my solenoid the dashboards lights are gone, hopefully the problem is fixed!

[@nondainc]

You're most welcome! Let me know if there's any update.

@@nondainc after weeks and using the car A LOT, the problem hasn't cone back, brilliant! Thanks again

[@emiliosanchez1784]

Another update: got the light on the dashboard again, this tine replaced the solenoid, apparently it is fixed

Hi Emilio, we appreciate your update and we're very glad to hear that you have sorted out the issue. :)

I have 2010 Pontiac G6 2.4 ecotec. Showing P0010. How do I know the difference between a faulty camshaft oil control valve (OCV) and faulty variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid? They both throw the same P0010 code. Can I clean the VVT solenoid? Can I test the VVT solenoid? Thank you

[@nondainc]

Hello, you should know that your OCV is faulty when you notice a burning smell in your car and if you are experiencing a low acceleration or poor brake performance. A decreased fuel economy is sign of a faulty VVT. With regards to your question if you can clean the VVT, yes-cleaning could be a solution and testing the voltage is suggested.

Have 2002 Chevy Avalanche. Problem having is acceleration/deceleration....when I press gas pedal it doesn't pick up speed, but instead acts as if I'm pressing brakes. I have to ease up on gas pedal til it slowly pick up speed. Hesitate up to 60mph, hard get past that speed

[@nondainc]

Hi Tiberius, kindly check the wiring/connectors if frayed/damage and repair them. Once repaired, clear the code and rescan to see if the issue will still persist. Check the resistance of the bank 1 intake camshaft VVT Control solenoid if the error won't go away as this could be the source of the issue. You may replace this part if the result is out of specification.

[@joshsatchwell2161]

I have this code for my 2008 Buick Enclave as well as the P0011 code. The oils been changed but I can't find any Oil Control Valve. Help!

[@nondainc]

Hi Josh, we suggest getting your vehicle visually inspected by your local mechanic for further diagnosis.

[@calistacostenbader369]

Hello! I own a 2011 Chrysler 200 3.6L throwing a P0010 code. The problem is that the check engine light turns off for awhile but then turns back on again. I recently had my oil changed so I don’t think it would be dirty oil. What should I test first? Should I pull the solenoid?

[@nondainc]

Hi Calista, kindly inspect if there are broken/damaged wiring going from the solenoid to the ECM. Check the condition of the camshaft if synced well to the crank, and try cleaning the actuator solenoid. Hope these helps!

[@jakefiest7533]

This is similar to my issue. I was told P0010 code meant I need to replace the VVT Solenoid (bank 1.) After replacing, check engine light cleared but came back on next time i started it. I cleared it again & it came back in again. Same code. I also recently had an oil change, but i think the engine light was already on before that. Could this mean it is the camshaft? What do you think? I would really appreciate your insight!

[@nondainc]

Hi Sharon, we suggest to get your vehicle visually inspected by your local mechanic for further diagnosis as you are receiving multiple error codes.

I have a Chevy cobalt 2010, my engine light is on and my car jerks a little while idling, p0010 is the code I’m getting how do I fix ?

[@AliAnani]

[@nondainc]

Hi Anthony, you may possibly have a faulty Camshaft Actuator Solenoid.

[@WisdomFreak100]

I'm having the same problem

[@brettallen2930]

How long does it take to make a difference after the oil change?

[@nondainc]

Hi Brett, once you have put fresh oil in your vehicle's system, kindly clear the code and test drive your car. If the code comes back then there might be a need for an OCV or Solenoid valve replacement. Since this code could be tricky to diagnose as many system could contribute to the error code, we also suggest checking on your vehicle's service manual to apply proper solution to the issue.

[@HadiBenoy]

Hello, so I unplugged the sensor and connected it back in, now I got a permanent code P0010, does that clear by itself or is a sensor change needed? there were no codes before.

[@nondainc]

Hi Hadi, please try cleaning the actuator solenoid and an oil system flush. Hope it helps and please let us know if the issue will still persist.

[@shammroc]

Hi Nonda! I have a 2007 Pontiac G6 throwing a P0010 code but also the Traction control light stays on. Both happened at the same time. Any suggestions

[@shammroc]

I should also note that I have taken the car in for a oil change and that made the TC light go away for about 3-4 weeks then it’s back on with the p0010 code

[@nondainc]

Hello, often times the faulty camshaft position actuator solenoid valve causes this code to appear. Please have it checked and replace if needed.

I have a 2001 Volkswagen Passat wagon GLS 1.8l 20v turbo that won't start. It reads a code of P0010. I have recently changed out the oil and filter. Can't seem to figure out if this car has a cam shaft oil control valve. Can you help direct me in the right direction to get my car up and running.

[@nondainc]

Hi Cesar, the wiring harness to the intake camshaft position sensor may have poor connection. Check also the wiring from the solenoid to the ECM for any damage as well as the Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid as it may need a replacement.

[@tiffanyshimko3012]
