SUBJECT:
VCMA DIAGNOSIS – MIL ON WITH DTC P200A
This bulletin provides information for some 2011-2013MY Sorento (XMa) vehicles, equipped with a 3.5L MPI engine, which may exhibit a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) with DTC P200A, after engine startup. DTC P200A may be caused by an inoperative VCM actuator, or by an inoperative valve linkage inside the intake manifold assembly. If the VCMA or the valve linkage is inoperative, the ECM may not be able to correctly control the intake path of air into the engine. Follow the procedures outlined in this bulletin to diagnose and correct the concern.
