I got this error code, P0010 - Camshaft Position Actuator A - Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction. What does this mean, where on my car is the problem located, and how can I go about fixing this on my own. I read where I might need to replace a solenoid, but dont know where it is.

Hello,

This happens when the camshaft actuator control vole goes out which is common here is the location so you can change it out. Also check the engine oil level and change it if you have not done so. Here is a guide to help change the oil check out the diagrams below for the valve. This guide will walk you through the steps of an oil change.
