01What it means & symptoms

P000D is a powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It identifies a fault related to B Camshaft Position Slow Response Bank 2. The powertrain control module monitors this circuit or component continuously and sets P000D when the signal or value is outside the expected range, implausible or missing. This can affect engine performance, fuel economy or emissions and usually turns on the check-engine light. The base function may still work, but performance can be affected, so the fault should be diagnosed. Diagnosis generally means inspecting the related wiring, connectors and power/ground references, then verifying the component against specification with a scan tool.

  • Check-engine light illuminated
