Code Definition

P1136 — Intake valve timing control solenoid bank 2

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

About P1136

P1136 is a manufacturer-specific powertrain diagnostic trouble code recorded for Nissan 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

The intake valve timing control solenoid valve is the electrically operated valve the Engine Control Module (ECM) uses to direct engine oil to the bank 2 intake camshaft phaser, controlling intake valve timing for better power, economy and emissions. DTC P1136 is set when the ECM detects an electrical fault in the bank 2 intake valve timing control solenoid circuit, such as an open circuit, a short to power or a short to ground, so the commanded current does not match what is expected. Unlike the timing performance code, this fault points specifically at the solenoid and its wiring rather than...
