Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced (Bank 1)

What this code means

The intake camshaft timing is more advanced than commanded - the variable valve timing system is not responding correctly.

Common symptoms

Rough idle
Reduced power or economy
Rattle on cold start

Most common causes

Dirty or low engine oil
Faulty VVT solenoid
Worn cam phaser
Stretched timing chain

Can you keep driving?

Check oil level and condition first - many VVT codes come from neglected oil. Driveable short term, but do not ignore it.
