For those reading in the future you don't have to change them both. Each code p000a b c or d is to a specific area. Bank 1 is passenger side. Top is A lower B, driver side top is C and lower D
For anyone the needs that info: P000A "A" BANK1 - Passenger Side Top P000B "B" BANK1 - Passenger Side Bottom P000C "A" BANK2 - Driver Side Top P000D "B" BANK2 - Driver Side Bottom
I have codes: (1) P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A Bank 1. (2) P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor A Bank 2. (3) P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A 2016 Subaru WRX. So far, I changed all 4 oil control valves yesterday. I plan to drive cycle the vehicle and see if the codes go away since I had the battery disconnected during replacement. Do you believe this should fix the problem, or should I replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor?
Can also be a cam sensor under those codes and would also link to the corresponding area. Easy test method is to switch the sensors. If the code changes from A to B C or D you know it's that sensor you just moved
Thank you for making this video! I also had P000D and initial wanted to replace the Cam Shaft Position Sensor. but it was the Oil Control Valve. Make Some More Vids, You are great!
Thank you that means a lot! I'm glad I was able to help. I have been going through a lot recently and haven't got the chance to do more videos, but I'm going to try and make more asap!
Thanks for posting this video. I just got this exact code on my 15WRX. I’m hoping if I replace the sensors that will fix it. Have you gotten the codes back since you posted this video?
Hey man! I am experiencing this problem now. P000B is my code. My oil is clean and full and religiously changed every 4-5k. The current oil in it is less than 2000km on it. So it’s clean oil. I suspect a bad oil control valve on that cam. I’ve been reading that these codes can burn into your ecu as well apparently? Did you have any issues with the code returning after you replaced the oil control valves? I’m seeing some people have to get the ecu updated at the dealership or replaced. Not very often but it seems to happen. Thanks!
@@mxracer5986 sweet, I appreciate the reply buddy! I’m going to go to my local dealership and pick an oil control valve up. Did you replace all 4 or just 2 on that side? Or just 1. Thank you good sir 🫡 contemplating buying 4 just for good measure. But I also don’t want to waste my money if the other control valves are working just fine for now.
Around the 7:00 minute mark in the video I show the part numbers, just call dealer and double check because there are different ones depending on the Vin and year! Hope that helps! And thanks guys!
A quick question - did ur car fluctuate, run unevenly, when started? After a moment it would go away but initially it would be kinda rough. I got the code, the car shook but then the code went away and i have these weird starts. Thnx in advance
how bad an idea is it to drive the vehicle around with this code? i can't get the part for at least a week and the dealer has no spaces available for the same amount of time either.
@@mxracer5986 bro send that shit all the way man you just saved me a ton of money. Did the issue code generate after the fix ? Cause Im getting the same code and same rough idling
@@mxracer5986 bless you bro I put a little more oil yesterday cause you mentioned the code generates when the car is low on oil and It was. Just waiting for the part to come in.

Good call since those solenoids are $108 each
Bank 2 is the passenger side as well? I just finished changing all 4 yesterday.
For anyone the needs that info:
P000A "A" BANK1 - Passenger Side Top
P000B "B" BANK1 - Passenger Side Bottom

So my 2015 sti is getting p000d (exhaust cam slow response) every day or 2 so I’m gonna try replacing the oil control valve for both exhaust sides
I hope that fixes your issue, keep me updated!
I have the same P000D on my 2016 sti
If you fix let me know sr please 🙏

JEFRO, how hard was it to replace the oil control valve???
I have the same car 2015 wrx sti p000D and it’s a permanent code as it says on the scanner . But my question is which valve would my code be for
Bank 2 driver side bottom.
Appreciate you

I got a p000b, what do you think will be the likely cause camshaft position sensor, camshaft VVT.
I think a,b,c, or d just references what sensor it is.
Thanks! Do you know if there was a torque spec on the two bolts?
@@maintenancethrottleI'm sure there is, unfortunately I don't know it and just did it by feel .
What parameters were you logging when you realize it was the oil control valve

@@MartiniOCP no problem glad I could help, happy new years!
What about P0018? Intake cam 2 LH? Would this fit. The problem? Please advise
I would have to research the code but I don't think it relates to this video.
Did you figure your issue out? I'm having it now. Cam sensor and ocv replaced still throwing p0018.
I'm having this issue p0018 to. Still trying to figure it out 🙃.
What about p000c ??
There are 4 of those sensors so p000a,b,c,d might be the code it throws depending on which sensor is faulty.
Should have cleaned the solenoids. The plunger didn't move freely. There is no point to change parts if they are good.
I got p000B on my STI how can I interpret the data log
Did you fix it yet?
how bad an idea is it to drive the vehicle around with this code? i can't get the part for at least a week and the dealer has no spaces available for the same amount of time either.

That's strange, did you call a Subaru dealer with the vin when you ordered the parts?
@@mxracer5986 im thinking i ordered 10921aa230
@@mxracer5986 so now i picked up the 10921aa241 model i feel like i may need to change them all as they all rusted to shit
@@fredoindaWRX I just know when I ordered mine they were vin specific. And certain years had different part numbers.
