Cold Start Cylinder 5 Deactivation/Intake Valve Control Performance

Where it lives

For P2CDF, the part to look at first is the valve named here. The description of P2CDF puts it on cylinder 5.

Check these first

• A cylinder 5 intake valve control that does not track its command at cold start
• Carbon binding the cylinder 5 intake valve control
• A weak cylinder 5 intake valve actuator
• A cylinder 5 valve control linkage that binds when cold

What to do next

1. Command cold start cylinder 5 intake valve control on a scan tool
2. Compare cylinder 5 valve control position to the command
3. Clean carbon from the cylinder 5 intake valve control
4. Test the cylinder 5 intake valve actuator
5. Replace the cylinder 5 intake valve control assembly if it will not track
6. Clear the code and retest
