The cost to diagnose the P0029 KIA code is 1.0 hour of labor. The diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops vary depending on the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. Most auto repair shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
ECM monitors OCV stuck while cam signal is normally generating and Valve cleaning is not in progress.If the CAM Acutal Position is too high or low and Difference between Cam Actual Positionand Desired Position is higher than 20° ECM determines that a fault exists and the P0029 codes is set.
The Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the exhaust camshaft. This system controls the exhaust camshaft to provide the optimal valve timing. The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the Oil Control Valve(OCV), based on the signals output from mass air flow, throttle position and engine coolant temperature. The CVVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease under overall driving conditions.
