Order of inspection

  1. P0021 A Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 2) Medium

    The P0021 code means the intake camshaft on bank 2 is not reaching the commanded position, or it stays advanced. It is the P0011 equivalent on the other bank, so it only appears on V-type or flat engines. The condition of the engine oil is the first thing to rule out.
