What does the engine code p0016 mean?

OBD-II Code P0016 is defined as a Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation The engine control module (PCM) uses a signal from the camshaft position sensor to determine the the proper time to fire the fuel injectors and ignite the spark plugs. The PCM compares this signal to the signal from…
