What Does P2092 Mean?
The engine control module (ECM) has detected a lower than expected voltage or resistance in the intake camshaft position actuator control circuit for Bank 2. This indicates a potential short to ground or open circuit in the VVT solenoid wiring or component.
Common Causes
35%
Faulty intake camshaft position actuator solenoid (VVT solenoid)
30%
Wiring harness short to ground or open circuit
20%
Corroded or damaged electrical connector at VVT solenoid
10%
Failed ECM (rare)
5%
Low engine oil level or contaminated oil affecting solenoid operation
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Inspect VVT solenoid connector on Bank 2 intake camshaft for corrosion, damage, or loose pins
2
Step 2: Check engine oil level and condition; verify proper viscosity oil is used
3
Step 3: Disconnect VVT solenoid and measure resistance (typically 6-12 ohms); replace if out of spec
4
Step 4: Check wiring from ECM to solenoid for continuity, shorts to ground, and proper voltage supply
5
Step 5: If all wiring and components test good, suspect ECM internal driver failure
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $450
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The engine control module (ECM) has detected a lower than expected voltage or resistance in the intake camshaft position actuator control circuit for Bank 2. This indicates a potential short to ground or open circuit in the VVT solenoid wiring or component.
The most common cause of P2092 (A Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit Low Bank 2) is: Faulty intake camshaft position actuator solenoid (VVT solenoid)
Typical repair costs for P2092 range from $150 to $450, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Vehicle is safe to drive short distances but may experience reduced power, poor fuel economy, and rough idle. Extended driving may cause engine damage due to improper valve timing.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2092 to identify the root cause.
