P2092: A Camshaft Position Actuator Control Circuit Low Bank 2
The P2092 code indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a low voltage condition in the camshaft position actuator control circuit for bank 2. This actuator adjusts camshaft timing to optimize engine performance and emissions. A low circuit signal can result from wiring issues, a faulty actuator solenoid, or a failing PCM. Bank 2 refers to the side of the engine opposite cylinder #1.
01. Most Common Causes
- Faulty camshaft position actuator solenoid (bank 2)
- Open or shorted wiring in the actuator control circuit
- Poor electrical connection at the actuator or PCM
- Failed PCM (rare)
02. Symptoms You Will Notice
- Check Engine Light illuminated
- Rough idle or engine misfire
- Decreased fuel economy
- Reduced engine power or hesitation
03. Step-by-Step Diagnosis
Step 1: Use an OBD2 scanner to confirm P2092 and check for additional codes.
Step 2: Visually inspect wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
Step 3: Test the camshaft position actuator solenoid resistance with a multimeter (compare to specs).
Step 4: Check for voltage and ground at the actuator connector with the engine running.
Step 5: If wiring and solenoid are good, test PCM output or consult a professional.

05. Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to drive with this code?▼
It is not recommended to drive long distances as it can cause poor engine performance, increased emissions, and potential damage to the catalytic converter.
How much does it cost to fix?▼
The cost typically ranges from $50 to $150 for diagnosis and repair, depending on the cause. Replacing a solenoid may cost $100-$200 including labor.
