P0024 on Kia
Exhaust Camshaft Position Timing - Over-Advanced (Bank 2)
P0024 on Kia vehicles indicates exhaust camshaft position timing - over-advanced (bank 2). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Kia model — most commonly on Sorento. This code means the exhaust camshaft on Bank 2 is timed more advanced (earlier) than the computer commanded. The variable valve timing system uses an oil-pressure-driven cam phaser and a control solenoid to set camshaft position; the computer compares the commanded position to the actual measured position. When the exhaust cam on Bank 2 reads too far advanced, P0024 sets. Bank 2 is the side of the engine not containing cylinder number one. Symptoms can include rough idle, reduced power, and poor fuel economy. Typical repair costs on Kia range from $150 to $450, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0024
- •Stuck-open or clogged variable valve timing (oil control) solenoid
- •Low or dirty engine oil
- •Failed exhaust camshaft phaser/actuator (Bank 2)
- •Clogged oil control valve screen or oil passages
- •Stretched or worn timing chain
- •Wiring or connector fault at the VVT solenoid
- •Incorrect cam timing from prior service
- •Faulty PCM/ECM (rare)

- P0011 — Intake Cam Timing Over-Advanced (Bank 1) from a Failed/Sludged Oil Control Valve2011-2020
P0011 indicates the Bank 1 intake camshaft is over-advanced — the CVVT phaser is stuck or the ECM cannot control it. On the Sorento's Theta II 2.4L GDI (and Lambda V6), the overwhelming cause is a failing intake-side Oil Control Valve (OCV/VVT solenoid) that sticks open or closed, often because it is clogged with sludge from dirty or over-consumed oil, or has failed electrically (spec resistance roughly 6.9-7.9 ohms). Because the OCV depends on clean oil pressure, low oil level and extended oil-change intervals accelerate the failure. The related Bank-1 codes P0014 (exhaust over-advanced) and P0022/P0024 often appear on the same engine family.

What does P0024 mean on Kia?▼
P0024 stands for "Exhaust Camshaft Position Timing - Over-Advanced (Bank 2)." This code means the exhaust camshaft on Bank 2 is timed more advanced (earlier) than the computer commanded. The variable valve timing system uses an oil-pressure-driven cam phaser and a control solenoid to set camshaft position; the computer compares the commanded position to the actual measured position. When the exhaust cam on Bank 2 reads too far advanced, P0024 sets. Bank 2 is the side of the engine not containing cylinder number one. Symptoms can include rough idle, reduced power, and poor fuel economy. On Kia specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P0024 on Kia vehicles?▼
Common causes on Kia: Stuck-open or clogged variable valve timing (oil control) solenoid, Low or dirty engine oil, Failed exhaust camshaft phaser/actuator (Bank 2), Clogged oil control valve screen or oil passages, Stretched or worn timing chain. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P0024 on a Kia?▼
