Trouble with Tributes
Some 2010-2011 Mazda Tributes equipped with the 2.5L engine may exhibit DTCs P0016 (crankshaft position – camshaft position correlation – Bank 1 Sensor A), P052A (cold start camshaft position timing over-advanced – Bank 1) and P052B (cold start camshaft position timing over-retarded – Bank 1).
This may be accompanied by hard-start and/or rough idle.
This may be due to debris temporarily restricting the movement of the variable camshaft timing solenoid (VCT).
-
Clear DTCs.
-
Perform drive cycle exercising the throttle to generate VCT movement. If a concern exists, the DTCs will trigger on the first key event. However, it takes a second key event for the MIL to illuminate.
-
Did the DTCs P0016, P052A or P052B return?
-
No….the DTCs did not return. No further repair is required.
-
Yes…refer to MS3 online or workshop manual section 01-01 Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) Malfunction.
