VANOS fault codes

VANOS solenoid or VANOS rationality fault codes can be set due to a sticking / dirty VANOS solenoid. The easiest way to check it is to remove the VANOS solenoids and gently clean them with air. Reinstall and recheck. If you suspect one is faulty or unable to be cleaned, switch the intake with the exhaust solenoid. See if the fault code follows moved solenoid. The solenoids are same part number and interchangeable.

Possible fault codes you may have if this is your problem:

P0011, P0012, P0014, P0015, P0020, P0021, P0022, P0024, P0025
