Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit / Open (Bank 2)
Generic · engine
Data confidence90%
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Intake Camshaft Position Actuator circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
Symptoms
MIL illuminated
Possible rough idle or reduced power
Possible causes
Wiring
CMP actuator

Recommended checks
Check oil level and condition first
Read specified vs actual cam timing with live data
Actuate the VVT solenoid and verify response
Check timing marks/chain condition if deviation persists

Ford · engine
Data confidence94%
Ford documents P0020:17 (circuit voltage above threshold) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as camshaft position actuator circuit (bank 2). This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Recommended checks
Perform a full module scan
Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
Inspect relevant wiring and connectors
Check power supplies and grounds
Compare commanded and measured values
Check applicable OEM service information

Frequently asked questions about P0020
What does P0020 mean?
Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit / Open (Bank 2). The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Intake Camshaft Position Actuator circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
Is P0020 generic or manufacturer-specific?
P0020 exists both as a generic OBD-II code (same meaning on every make) and with 1 manufacturer-specific interpretation(s): Ford. Always read it in the context of your vehicle.
Can TuningBot remove P0020 at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
