Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent interruption

Hi fahel,

What is the exact DTC for the problem?

DTC = Diagnostic trouble code.

I need the code, not description.

Are you sure the code is correct? Honda repair information does not have P1336 listed in the database.

What scanner did you use?

Or is it P0336?

What engine do you have? The code is related to the variable valve timing. Let me know the engine size and if the oil is clean, full, and if the oil pressure light is on.

Joe

Okay, the code is related to valve timing control. Here is a flow chart. It requires an advanced scanner.
