Jeep P1390

Timing Belt Skipped One Tooth Or More

What P1390 means on a Jeep

On Jeep vehicles, P1390 is logged when the ECU detects a fault in the camshaft / VVT: “Timing Belt Skipped One Tooth Or More”. P1390 is a manufacturer-specific Jeep code (the "1" after the letter marks an OEM-defined code), so its meaning applies to Jeep and may differ on other makes.

Common causes & symptoms

Typical triggers for a camshaft / VVT code like P1390 include faulty or ageing sensors, wiring/connector faults, a clogged or removed component, or a value drifting outside the ECU's expected window. Symptoms range from a check-engine light only, to limp mode, rough running, higher consumption or failed emissions tests.

P1390 and ECU tuning

When a Jeep has had hardware changed for off-road/motorsport use (for example a removed DPF or EGR), the related monitor must be disabled in the ECU map or the code re-appears. Softechpro Solutions performs DPF/EGR/AdBlue/DTC off and recalculates the checksum, so codes like P1390 stay cleared after the flash. Genuine faults should always be repaired, not just hidden.
