How To Fix P0286 ?
The engine system, in conjuction with the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM), activates the P0286 code solenoid valve to control oil pressure to the engine mechanism that is installed in the valve system to switch valve timing between Low and High.If the engine solenoid valve has an open or short circuit, a DTC is stored. |
The poor running symptoms are consistent with a MAP sensor malfunction. In addition, in some cases, a bad MAP sensor will not throw a code. Again, the ELD code likely represents a separate wiring issue. When you see P0286 engine fault code on your engine code reader this description will help you.

Final Step: In the definitions listed below, there is a test drive recommended after you've completed any repairs to see if the condition is fixed.

This will turn the check engine light off and then you will know if the check engine light returns, you've got further diagnostics to complete.
