SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0016 and P0017

DTC Code DTC Name
P0016 Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
P0017 Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor B)

DESCRIPTION

In the VVT system, the appropriate intake and exhaust valve open and close timing is controlled by the ECM. The ECM performs intake and exhaust valve control by performing the following: 1) controlling the camshaft and camshaft timing oil control valve assembly, and operating the camshaft timing gear; and 2) changing the relative positions of the camshaft and crankshaft.

DTC No.

Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0016

Deviation in crankshaft position sensor signal and camshaft position sensor (for intake camshaft) signal (2 trip detection logic).

  • Mechanical system (timing chain jumped tooth or chain stretched)

  • Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for intake side)

  • Camshaft timing gear assembly

  • ECM

P0017

Deviation in crankshaft position sensor signal and camshaft position sensor (for exhaust camshaft) signal (2 trip detection logic).

  • Mechanical system (timing chain jumped tooth or chain stretched)

  • Camshaft timing oil control valve assembly (for exhaust side)

  • Camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly

  • ECM

  • To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learned value while the engine is idling. The VVT learned value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The intake valve timing is set to the most retarded angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learned value is out of specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0016.

  • To monitor the correlation of the exhaust camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT learned value while the engine is idling. The VVT learned value is calibrated based on the camshaft position and crankshaft position. The exhaust valve timing is set to the most advanced angle while the engine is idling. If the VVT learned value is out of specified range in consecutive driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0017.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P0016 OR P0017)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    5. Read the DTCs.

      Result

      Proceed to

      DTC is not output

      A

      DTC P0016 or P0017 is output

      B
      Tip:

      DTC P0016 or P0017 is output when foreign objects in engine oil are caught in some parts of the system. These codes will remain stored for a short time even after the system returns to normal. These foreign objects are then captured by the oil filter, thus eliminating the source of the problem.
