P1135 NISSAN Possible Causes

  • Faulty Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Bank 2
  • Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Bank 2 harness is open or shorted
  • Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Bank 2 circuit poor electrical connection
  • Faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor (POS)
  • Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor

How do I fix code P1135 NISSAN?

  Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins.

Tech Notes

  • Since the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve uses oil flow to control timing, dirty oil can cause the valve to stuck open or close. Before replacing the valve, change engine oil and filter and reset engine code.

Cost of diagnosing the P1135 NISSAN code

  The cost of diagnosing the P1135 NISSAN code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

When is the code detected

  When there is a gap between angle of target and phase-control angle degree, the valve will stop working and the Engine Control Module (ECM) will trigger the P1135 code.

Possible Symptoms

  • Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
  • Possible engine lack/loss of power
  • Posssible engine rough idle

P1135 NISSAN Description

  This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake valve.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow. The longer pulse width advances valve angle. The shorter pulse width retards valve angle. When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control position.
