Variable Cam Timing Over-advanced (Bank 1) The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the VCT position for an over-advanced camshaft timing.
The test fails when the camshaft timing exceeds a maximum calibrated value or remains in an advanced position. Cam timing improperly set No oil flow to the VCT piston chamber Low oil pressure VCT solenoid valve stuck closed Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit) B2912 DTC is a check of the VCT unit.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code B2912, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code B2912 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

B2912 Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle failed a B2912 test and the B2912 Check Engine Light is NOT on, chances are you have a problem with the OBDII system, a burned out MIL lamp, or a faulty catalytic converter. The converter is essentially an afterburner that cleans up the exhaust after it exits the engine. The OBDII system uses heated catalyst temperature below threshold (bank 2) a ownstream oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter, and it should detect a drop in converter efficiency if the converter has been contaminated or is failing (ignition misfiring, leaky exhaust valves, and oil burning can all damage the converter). What you want to look heated catalyst temperature below threshold (bank 2): Any conditions that might cause ignition misfire, an overly rich or lean fuel condition, or loss of compression. Use your OBD Express DIY to look at the oxygen sensor outputs, coolant temperature, airflow, calculated engine load, and inlet air temperature.

B2912 is a kind of Body Trouble Code

Auto body problems aren't always easy to spot. Diagnosing auto body problems sometimes requires a little know-how. In this section you'll find articles dedicated to teaching you how to diagnose auto body problems.

Common Causes of B2912

A common cause of code B2912 is the failure of Heated Catalyst Temperature Below Threshold (Bank 2), but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit)
Faulty TCM or TCM programming
Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor
Three way catalyst converter Bank 1
