OBD code P1372

[Arts911]

Just bought a 2008 Cayenne. Has a code P1372. Would like to ask first before I take it to the dealer.
Would anybody have or had this code repaired.

Thanks advance for any help anyone has.

That's the code that says Buy Me (<--click link) so that you won't have to take it to the dealer to find out.

Here's some information on error code P1372

Good luck,
John


P1372 Valve lift control, above limit value
Note:
- For this diagnostic, the cylinder preceding in the firing order can also be affected.
- If misfires are entered simultaneously (P0300 to P0308), these must be worked through first.
- If only valve lift errors are entered, please also check the cylinders preceding in the firing order.
Example: If the valve lift error for cylinder 4 (bank 2) is entered, the mechanism of the valve lift switching of cylinder 2 (bank 1) is also to be checked.
- Valve lift error detected via evaluation of rough running, similar to detecting misfiring.
- Parity check errors during valve lift control only entered together with cylinder-specific faults.

Possible fault causes
- Valve(s) of a cylinder stay jammed in large stroke
- Valves of different cylinders stay jammed in large stroke (parity check error)

Don't be a stranger once you find out the "problem"....

(Translation: Post back in detail info YOU would like to run across if you were running a search on xyz problem..)

So many times people get the answer they need, and they never post back.

(Been on several boards tonight- seeing a bunch of that..)

Best of luck, look forward to hearing what you find out.

Hi Arthur,
I know that this thread is already a couple of years old but I see you are still quite active in the forum.
Would you mind posting what the solution for the P1373 code in your Cayenne was?
I have the same in mine and was able to clear it once with an OBDII tool but it came back after a couple of days and since then I am not able to clear it any more.
Thanks a lot!

Dealer stated it was in need of injectors. So I sold the vehicle .

Timbotronik- what ever happened with yours? I'm getting same code.

I had that code. It ended up being the VVT solenoid on the back of the cyl head. Replaced it and it cleared up all the valve lift codes and the misfires.
