P1014 on Fiat
Manufacturer-Specific Powertrain Code (BMW/MINI: Valvetronic Eccentric-Shaft Sensor; Domestic: Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator)
P1014 on Fiat vehicles indicates manufacturer-specific powertrain code (bmw/mini: valvetronic eccentric-shaft sensor; domestic: exhaust camshaft position actuator). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Fiat model — most commonly on 500. P1014 is a manufacturer-specific powertrain code whose meaning varies by maker. On BMW and MINI it typically points to a problem with the Valvetronic eccentric-shaft position sensor or its reference position. On many domestic vehicles it relates to the exhaust camshaft position actuator (variable valve timing) being out of the expected range, and some makes such as Dodge use it for an emission solenoid circuit. Because the definition differs by brand, it should be confirmed against the specific vehicle's service data. Typical repair costs on Fiat range from $800 to $1,400, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P1014
- •Faulty eccentric-shaft / camshaft position sensor (BMW/MINI)
- •Failing exhaust camshaft (VVT) actuator/solenoid (domestic)
- •Low or dirty engine oil affecting VVT phaser
- •Wiring or connector corrosion at the sensor/actuator
- •Carbon buildup or mechanical binding in the variable valve system
- •Timing chain stretch / cam-to-crank correlation issue
- •ECM software or calibration fault
P1014 on Fiat by Model
Fiat 500(1 issue)
- MultiAir Actuator Failure2012-2019
The MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve actuation system can fail, causing rough idle, misfires, and check engine light with codes P0014 or P1014. This is a common failure on the 1.4L MultiAir engine, often occurring between 40,000 and 80,000 miles.

What does P1014 mean on Fiat?▼
P1014 stands for "Manufacturer-Specific Powertrain Code (BMW/MINI: Valvetronic Eccentric-Shaft Sensor; Domestic: Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator)." P1014 is a manufacturer-specific powertrain code whose meaning varies by maker. On BMW and MINI it typically points to a problem with the Valvetronic eccentric-shaft position sensor or its reference position. On many domestic vehicles it relates to the exhaust camshaft position actuator (variable valve timing) being out of the expected range, and some makes such as Dodge use it for an emission solenoid circuit. Because the definition differs by brand, it should be confirmed against the specific vehicle's service data. On Fiat specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
