What Does the Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Do

A camshaft actuator solenoid –normally installed in the front of each cylinder head — is used to precisely control the flow of oil into the camshaft actuator. This changes the rotation of the camshaft to adjust valve timing and valve overlap on the go.

  1. Check Engine Light Comes On.
  2. Poor Drivability.
  3. Transmission Shifting Problems.
