Hey guys i have this Error Code now since over 1 Yeahr and drive my Camaro daily.Sorry for my bad english iam from Germany

Exactly code is:
"Position of camshaft actuator circuit group 1 fault"
My tuner disabled the vvt and i already replaced the sensor whos on the timing cover. (l99 engine)

This code cant be deleted its there after i turn the key on.

My car drive good and the power is normal, so what can i do?

Greetings from germany

Your best option is to probably take it to the dealership.

If you are comfortable that it's running fine, and after 1 year it's not likely anything that is seriously wrong, I think your tuner should be able to set that code to not report or turn on the check engine light. Another option would be to follow the shop manual to actually trouble shoot the code.

Yeah thats what my tuner did. thx for the reply. Or should i change the actuator solenoid.
Maybe my ecm is Bad idk.

What Is The Cause Of Code P0010?

Faulty VVT control solenoid valve (most common)
Oil sludge in the engine
Crankshaft position sensor malfunction
Camshaft position sensor malfunction
Frayed or damaged wiring
Engine operating outside of proper timing parameters

Yea i know this symptoms. I had my car already by a dealership and they did not find the problem.... So i can do much by myself buy i cant figure out whats exactly the problem.

Ty for the answer

Korbi · 01-15-2021, 11:05 AM

Can the code come from the cathalizers? I haven't installed any more

Korbi · 01-15-2021, 01:37 PM

Hey i cant delete the code the tuner too. If i try delete and read again the code is still there. So i think maybe ECM bad or a wire idk i hate that code

Is the CEL (check engine light) on? Seems to me there are certain codes that just can’t be erased. If the CEL isn’t on, your probably fine. Just a guess, mind you.

Korbi · 01-16-2021, 10:36 AM

Befor my Tuner set the code to not report the CEL was on yes.

Has VVT been deleted from this car? Has an LS3 conversion been done?

The reason I ask is because I swapped an LS3 into my originally L99 based car. My car was professionally tuned and I still have this as a permanent code, since the ECM is still looking for the VVT solenoid/phaser. I have tried to disable the reporting myself via HP Tuners but it still generates this code, but it doesn't trigger a CEL anymore since that was disabled. But its no big deal and really doesn't affect anything. You can have your tuner disable the check engine light reporting for this code, so the only way you will know it exists is if you run a scan.

The only time I would be worried about this code would be if I was still running VVT, which I am not. If VVT has been permanently disabled then this is the code you will get. Totally normal.

Korbi · 01-16-2021, 02:55 PM

Hm i dont think so the timing cover looks like l99. Or can it be disabled with the l99 timing cover??

I checked now my Timing cover and i got the left one so the owner befor me dosnt swap it.

I also read that a bad tune can do this error. But the tuner who made my tune is not even there.
