One of two scenarios can cause this condition:
 Scenario A: One of the combi valves is defective.
 Scenario B: The vacuum solenoid is defective.
Production Solution
Updated combi valves and vacuum solenoid.
Service
1.
Before performing any repair, determine if Scenario A or Scenario B is causing the condition.
Scenario A is the cause if:
 One or both of the DTCs listed in the
Condition is stored.
 The bit for MIL on shows “1” for one
DTC only (Figure 1).
Figure 1. In this example, both DTCs are stored. The bit for
MIL on with DTC P244000 (A) shows “1”, which means this
DTC caused the MIL to illuminate. The bit for MIL on with
DTC P244200 (B) shows “0”, which means it did not cause
the MIL to illuminate.

Scenario B is the cause if:
 Both of the DTCs listed in the
Condition are stored.
 The DTCs were stored at the same
time.
 The bit for MIL on shows “1” for both
DTCs.
Figure 2. In this example, both DTCs are stored. The bit for
MIL on shows “1” for both DTCs (A and B).
2. Depending on which scenario is present, replace the defective part:
For Scenario A:
 Replace the combi valve of the bank with the DTC that caused the MIL to illuminate.
For Scenario B:
Replace the vacuum solenoid valve that controls both of the combi valves.
