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
25%
Wiring harness short to battery voltage
20%
Oil-contaminated or damaged electrical connector
10%
Chafed wiring creating intermittent short
5%
ECM driver circuit failure
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
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
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.
The most common cause of P2095 (B Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit High Bank 2) is: Faulty exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoid
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.
Safe for limited driving but performance will be compromised. Extended operation may damage catalytic converter due to incorrect exhaust valve timing.
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.
