P2095

Moderate

B Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit High Bank 2

What Does P2095 Mean?

The ECM has detected a higher than expected voltage in the exhaust camshaft position actuator control circuit for Bank 2. This suggests a short to power in the wiring or an internal solenoid failure.

Common Causes

40%

Faulty exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoid

Exhaust VVT Solenoid
Oil Control Valve

25%

Wiring harness short to battery voltage

Wiring Harness
Insulation

20%

Oil-contaminated or damaged electrical connector

10%

Chafed wiring creating intermittent short

Wire Loom

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect exhaust VVT solenoid wiring for damage, especially where it routes near hot or moving components

2

Step 2: Disconnect exhaust VVT solenoid connector and inspect for oil contamination or corrosion; clean if necessary

3

Step 3: With solenoid disconnected, check harness side for unexpected voltage (should be 0V at rest)

4

Step 4: Measure exhaust VVT solenoid resistance; replace if shorted or out of specification range

5

Step 5: Verify ECM ground integrity and check for proper PWM signal operation with oscilloscope if available

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $500

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2095 mean?

The ECM has detected a higher than expected voltage in the exhaust camshaft position actuator control circuit for Bank 2. This suggests a short to power in the wiring or an internal solenoid failure.

What causes P2095?

The most common cause of P2095 (B Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit High Bank 2) is: Faulty exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoid

How much does it cost to fix P2095?

Typical repair costs for P2095 range from $150 to $500, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2095?

Safe for limited driving but performance will be compromised. Extended operation may damage catalytic converter due to incorrect exhaust valve timing.

How do I diagnose P2095?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2095 to identify the root cause.
