2000 V70 XC Code P0014

I have a recurring P0014 "camshaft bank B over advanced" code that seems to have no affect on how the engine runs. I replaced the timing belt and water pump ~3k miles ago and had the P0014 code about 200 miles after replacing. After getting the code, I took the TB cover off and checked timing marks again, and they appear to be perfect.

I can clear the code using a standard code reader, and it will return after 150-250 miles. Could it be the camshaft sensor? Anybody have experience with this code?

Thanks.

From what I read on this the usual culprits are the solenoid (gets gummed up with oil sludge), cam position sensor, or the cam timing is actually off.

I've no hands on experience (yet) with this one, but will be troubleshooting mine over the next few days. I just looked at PNP's website, a cam position sensor is only $9. I thought about prowling the yards and grabbing a couple for troubleshooting tomorrow.

One common denominator with your post though is "200 miles". That is 200 miles after your belt change it came on. 200 miles after you reset it, it comes back. You might want to take another hard look at the cam timing if you can. From there I'd clean the solenoid, and after that I might pay money for a new sensor.

Good luck man! Where are you in WA?

I'd say you didn't set it up correctly. You lined the marks up but didn't release the tension on the pulley. When turning the crank to line up the marks you have to go 90 degrees clockwise past the marks and then go counterclockwise 90 back to the marks.

The VVT requires a few extra steps.

It's either the VVT solenoid or you're off one tooth on your T Belt timing

Thanks for the replies. When installing the new timing belt, I did follow the procedure of rotating 90 degrees past and then back before installing belt. The new belt was pretty difficult to get on so I know I ended up very slightly rotating the crank either direction to seat the belt on the cam pulleys. Maybe that ruined the tension release?

I will look into the solenoid, thanks.
