Although target variance is 0 degrees, it is not uncommon to observe variance of up to 3-4 degrees on a properly functioning system. Any variance exceeding 3-4 degrees could potentially cause a noticeable shudder / surge concern. If the concern has been isolated to the camshaft actuator system, it is recommended to replace the camshaft actuator magnet and re-evaluate. If the shudder / surge is still present after camshaft actuator magnet replacement and camshaft actuator variance is over 4 degrees, refer to GM Service Information or GM TAC for further assistance with diagnosis. Below are line graphs from GDS2, one showing normal operation of the camshaft actuator system and one that is not operating properly. Normal operation (variance under 4 degrees): Fault in camshaft actuator system (variance over 4 degrees): Parts Information Part Number Description 12675031 Quantity MAGNET, CM/SHF POSN ACTR 1 Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under the Powertrain coverage, use the following labor operation.
