This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that there's a problem with a part of the engine that helps control how much air gets into it. It's like if a sensor that tells the engine how to breathe isn't working right.
The VVL (Variable Valve Lift) system adjusts the lift of the engine's valves to improve performance and efficiency. This code indicates a loss of signal from the reference sensor solenoid on Bank 2, affecting the system's operation.
The P1067 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a malfunction in the VVL reference sensor solenoid circuit on Bank 2. This solenoid is responsible for adjusting the valve lift, and a loss of signal can lead to suboptimal engine performance.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Reduced engine performance
• Increased fuel consumption
• Faulty VVL reference sensor solenoid
• Wiring issues in the solenoid circuit
• Faulty ECM
VVL: Variable Valve Lift
ECM: Engine Control Module
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage.
• Test the VVL reference sensor solenoid for proper operation.
• Replace the faulty VVL reference sensor solenoid.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Socket set
$150 - $500
Moderate
• Nissan Altima
• Infiniti G35
• Nissan Maxima
• Regular maintenance checks
• Ensure proper oil levels
• Inspect wiring regularly
Sensor Issue
• Don't ignore the Check Engine Light.
• Get the vehicle inspected by a professional.
• Avoid heavy acceleration until the issue is resolved.
Check with the vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on engine components.
This code has been associated with Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, particularly those with advanced variable valve timing systems.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to prevent further engine issues.
Driving with a malfunctioning engine sensor can lead to increased emissions and potential safety hazards.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle in a stationary position
The VVL reference sensor solenoid is typically located on the cylinder head of Bank 2.
Q: Can I drive with a P1067 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for long periods with this code, as it can affect engine performance and efficiency.
Q: How can I reset the Check Engine Light?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the issue is fixed, the light should stay off.
