Code P1145 indicates a performance problem with the intake valve timing control system (Bank 2). It is a manufacturer code — the definition varies depending on the vehicle make (Nissan/Infiniti, BMW, GM, Audi/VW).

OBD-II (EN): Intake Camshaft Control Circuit Performance Bank 2

Code P1145 is a manufacturer code, most often related to incorrect operation of the variable valve timing system (VTC/VVT) on Bank 2 — mainly concerning Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, but other makes (BMW, GM) may have a different definition. The cause could be contaminated oil, a faulty camshaft position sensor, or a defective solenoid valve. Professional scanner diagnosis is recommended, as incorrect repair can worsen the problem.
