What are the Possible Causes of the DTC P1136?

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • Faulty Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Bank 2
  • Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Bank 2 harness is open or shorted
  • Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Bank 2 circuit poor electrical connection

Code Tech Notes

Since the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve uses oil flow to control timing, dirty oil can cause the valve to stuck open or close. Before replacing the valve, change the engine oil and filter and reset the engine code. If the code comes back you can remove the Intake valve timing control solenoid and clean it with brake cleaner.

What Does the P1136 Code Mean?

The intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF pulse duty (ratio) signals from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through the intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances the valve angle. The shorter pulse width retards the valve angle.
When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control position.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) when an improper voltage is sent to the ECM through the intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
