Okay, a little background maybe related. For some time I have had intermittantly had the "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control" lights come on which is accompanied by harsh shifting. Never have been able to find cause of that. Today those warnings also had a CE light come on. Same shifting but nothing else noticable while driving.

Anyway a trip to the Zone later I came up with the P0011 code, which indicates camshaft intake position system performance. Probable causes - open or short circuit, mechanical condintion with sensor, failed actuator solenoid, low oil level (oil level fine).

So where is the sensor located? Could that sensor be related to my other issues? Is there anyway to isolate if it is the sensor?

THanks for any help

The p0011 is a problem with the camshaft actuator system. It has variable valve timing capability. Need to have it diagnosed. No it is not related to the stabilitrac lights. That is a different system, as it should have codes stored also since the light was on.

Through the magic of the interwebs I found where the sensor was located.

 

The CEL turned off this morning. Oddly enough since the CEL went off I have had no incidents of the stabilitrak light coming on. For about a week that was happening almost daily, once on the way to work and once on the way home. I'm beginning to think I have some electrical gremlins.

Got a call from the service department. The cam position sensor was bad. They also said the oil pan gasket was leaking and both CV boots were bad. Didn't have good answer for the stabilitrak/ traction control lights, but I'll talk more about that when I go to pick it up. The best news is he is getting everything covered under the power train warranty :sick:

I think I found a new dealer.

Hi.

Escalade 6.2l 2007 year

I have same problem. (P0011 and T/C light)

Please, write part # of the cam position sensor.

And tell me, please, what are "CV boots", which were bad?

And, how oil pan gasket leaking influences error occurrence?

Sorry for my bad English. I am from Russia)))) :thumbs:

I don't believe your 6.2L would have the same part number since it's a different engine. The CV boots are the "rubber" boots that cover the constant velocity joint upfront.

Thanks for the answer!

I have found part # of my cam position sensor: 12585545

I will try to change this sensor, and then we will see result.

One more question:

Before the lamp CE (P0011) was lighted, the message "Low oil level" was lit, but The oil level is full.

Whether it could affect occurrence of error P0011?

Thanks GMT-Forum!!! Сode P0011 is defeated.

I installed the new cam position sensor part#12585545.

I also found that most Service Stabilitrak illuminates when the engine errors are illuminates.

When I am towing my fifth wheel I keep getting code P0011. It s fine while accelerating and driving but when I slow down to a crawl or stop, it throws the code.

I replaced Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve about 5000 miles ago

and the camshaft position sensor about 1000 miles ago.

I always synthetic oil, Deep Purple or Amsoil,

And help or suggestions on where I should start checking and looking next would be great.

Thanks

When I am driving and either coast or slow down using brakes when my rpm's get down to around 1000-1500 rpm's the truck will start to skip. The code being thrown is p0011 but the dealership is telling me its the oil pump and tranny. I have never had a bad tranny feel like this and the code says nothing about an oil pump issue. These codes really arent even specific enough to narrow the search for the problem because it also lists two other things it could be. Also if it were the pump wouldnt the oil pressure sensor gauge be reading low? It stays between 40-60.

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
