anybody help please with this code P0011

From ODB-codes.com:

What does that mean?

"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."

"Potential Symptoms

Most likely a P0011 DTC will result in one of the following: hard starting, poor idle, and/or stalling. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates.

Causes

A P0011 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:

Incorrect camshaft timing
Wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system
Continuous oil flow to VCT piston chamber
Failed timing valve control solenoid (stuck open)"

Thank you brother for replay , but my car doesn’t has these problem hard starting, poor idle so can you tell me what I can do to fix this problem please

 

[jsinton]

It could just be a fluke if you have no other complaints. Why don't you clear the code and see if it returns?

 

[elkarshofy]

i have tried to clear the code but it returned

 

[elkarshofy]

what about camshaft belt

 

[elkarshofy]

what about camshaft belt, is it cause this problem ?

It could be the CVVT oil control valve assembly needs cleaning. See http://www.hmaservice.com/files/331/5002805/09-EM-002.pdf. It doesn't list the 2.7 liter in the Tucson, but does list the same engine in the Santa Fe. The P0011 error code is one of those sporatic issues that can apparently be triggered by this problem.

 

[elkarshofy]

Is it serious problem ?

 

[ken99]

Define "serious"? The engine wasn't designed to run with a P0011 error code. At the very least, I would think power and mileage would be diminished. Long term implications? I'm not sure. Can't be good for the pollution control systems like the catalytic convertor if the engine is constantly running too lean or too rich because of the wrong timing. I beleive the TSB states the situation is covered by warranty. Could also be caused by one of the problems cited by jsinton. I would get it looked at if the vehicle were mine.

Do you think when Belt off by one tooth causes this problem?
