Code Definition

P1136 — Intake valve taiming control solenoid bank 2

System: Powertrain  |  Type: Manufacturer-Specific  |  Make: Infiniti

About P1136

P1136 is a manufacturer-specific powertrain diagnostic trouble code recorded for Infiniti vehicles. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P1136 is stored, the module has detected a bank-specific fault, meaning it applies only to one cylinder bank of a multi-bank engine.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

P1136 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

DTC P1136 refers specifically to the Intake Valve Timing Control solenoid valve circuit on Bank 2 of Nissan and Infiniti engines. This solenoid is the electrically operated oil control valve that the Engine Control Module (ECM) pulses to direct oil pressure to the intake camshaft phaser, advancing and retarding valve timing. The code sets when the ECM detects that the solenoid control circuit is electrically out of range, for example an open circuit, a short to ground or a short to power on the Bank 2 solenoid. Symptoms can include rough idle, hesitation, reduced power and poor economy, with t...
