I have a check engine light on and when I scanned it it came up

P0010 intake camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoid control circuit bank 1

P0011 intake camshaft position (CMP) system performance bank 1

Does anybody know what these mean if you do I would appreciate the help

 

its the intake camshaft position solenoid. typical on these engines. they are ~$40 and are an easy 10min fix.

had the same issue in my 09 G5. replacing the solenoid/actuator/whatever its called fixed it. its right on top of the valve cover. very simple!

 

Thank you i couldn't find anything on it and didn't wanna take it to the dealership

 

np man. yeah super easy. happened to me around 40,000 miles. car sputtered at idle and almost stalled a few times (auto). I went to get the part from my uncle and the GM parts guy was there and he mentioned that they have been failing a lot lol

 

Bout nine times outta ten it's the solenoid but it also can be the wiring. From the factory I've seen a few cars not have enough wire installed leading to the connector causing the harness to pull on the connector breaking the wire inside. Just something to check if you put a solenoid in and it resets a p0010
