Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Actuator Solenoid test (P0010, P0011) - GM 2.4

I will be testing the Intake and Exhaust Camshaft Actuator Solenoid Valves in this video. The vehicle is a 2012 Buick Verano with a 2.4L Ecotec engine. These solenoids are high failure items on this particular engine. Symptoms - check engine light - P0010 (P0011, P0013, P0014 are related codes) Fix - replace faulty intake and exhaust camshaft actuator solenoid valves Tests shown - how to identify circuit design using a voltmeter - how to identify the control wire - how to use a scan tool and command the solenoids on - how to identify current flow is taking place - how to measure resistance of the solenoids Tools used - scan tool - digital multimeter - lab scope (not necessary to troubleshoot this problem but it helps) Related videos - How to test cam/crank actuator solenoids (P0010, P0013) 2008 GM 2.4 L https://youtu.be/6B7HrBN2tvY - How to test Intake Valve Control Solenoids (codes P0028, P0082) - Subaru https://youtu.be/Lo2OmuIZ2rE - How to test a computer controlled solenoid (power/ground side identification) https://youtu.be/kQz3g4HIWgs Playlist (Chapter 3) Transistors, Solenoids, Computer Controlled Output Testing https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE9BA8CBD51B8C48E For more information on this topic, I have written a “field manual” called Engine Performance Diagnostics which is available at www.scannerdanner.com as an eBook or paper book.
