In other vehicles, the P0028 code sets if the PCM detects that there&rsquo;s a difference between the actual camshaft position and the desired camshaft position.<\/li><li>Possible causes of the P0028 code include a VVL diagnostic switch failure, a VVL solenoid failure, and a Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid failure. Common symptoms of the P0028 code include an illuminated check engine light, rough idling, and reduction in engine power at some engine speeds.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and Variable Valve Lift (VVL) systems contribute to better fuel mileage and other things. The P0028 code sets when the vehicle&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/engine-control-module\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"main computer\">main computer<\/a> (powertrain control module or PCM) detects problems with these systems or any of their related components. And while many modern platforms use VVT, this exact code only appears on a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With variable valve timing (which is very common on today&rsquo;s engines) camshaft timing can be altered dynamically while the engine is under load. This strategy is used to enhance fuel economy, increase power, and reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P0028 Code Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/search-obd2-codes-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Diagnostic trouble code\">Diagnostic trouble code<\/a> (DTC) P0028 stands for &ldquo;Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Range\/Performance (Bank 2).&rdquo; Note that the definition of this code and the setting conditions may differ depending on the vehicle&rsquo;s manufacturer. For more information, please see the appropriate repair manual or database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The P0028 code may be set in a couple of ways, depending on the vehicle. In some vehicles, P0028 sets if the PCM determines that the VVL oil pressure switch has been in the &ldquo;on&rdquo; or &ldquo;off&rdquo; position for longer than the expected time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other vehicles, this code sets if the PCM detects that there is a difference between the actual camshaft position and the desired camshaft position. This problem is potentially due to an issue with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/variable-timing-solenoid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"VVT solenoid\">VVT solenoid<\/a> operation. P0028 is related to the OBD-II codes P0026, P0027, and P0029, particularly the electrical circuits that control the solenoid directing oil pressure to the cam phaser on Bank 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"internal combustion engine inner parts 1\" class=\"wp-image-16555\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-75x75.jpeg 75w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-928x928.jpeg 928w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/internal-combustion-engine-inner-parts-1-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>In other vehicles, this code sets if the PCM detects that there is a difference between the actual camshaft position and the desired camshaft position.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The VVT works by using an actuator(s) mounted on the end of the camshaft(s). The PCM controls the VVT solenoid(s) so it can apply the appropriate oil pressure to the actuator(s). Each actuator then changes the position of its corresponding camshaft and thus alters the valve timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the VVL allows the PCM to modify the distance that the valves are lifted from their original positions. Like the VVT, the VVL is also used to enhance the performance of the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The VVL system makes use of a camshaft with different profiles for low and high-speed operations. A typical VVL set-up has three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/bad-engine-rocker-arm-symptoms-plus-replacement-recommendations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"rocker arms\">rocker arms<\/a> that operate two intake valves. The PCM commands an oil control solenoid to apply oil pressure to drive a pin that would lock the rockers together. Because of this, the valves are controlled in such a way that they follow the cam profile designed for high-speed operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The VVL system has a diagnosis switch located near the control solenoid.
