Hi folks,

Can anyone get a copy of TSB 03-15-14 to me? It seems that this might not only be interesting to me, but others that are having similar problems with code P1380, 1381, 1382.

I posted awhile back that I was getting a 1381 code. Changed the timing belt, cleared codes, and still the same issue.

I'm wondering if there's a chance that that TSB has something interesting in it....

Thanks!

change out the solenoid. or it will die sooner or later.
500.00 fix at the local mechanic. you will need to pull the cam to do this.

Finally got a copy of the TSB, and it reminded me that the solenoid's resistance should be 3 to 6 ohms. I measured mine, and it's 9K ohms. Time to replace it! ;-)
