What does the PCM code p0016 stand for?

The CKP and CMP sensors work together to keep the PCM informed about engine timing. Should the timing be off, the PCM will set a code P0016. This code stands for Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A).

What causes a crankshaft to be in p0016 position?

To sum things up, the common causes for code P0016 are as follows: 1 A faulty cam or crank sensor 2 The cam or crank circuit is open or shorted 3 The timing belt/chain is out of time 4 The cam or crank tone ring is slipped/broken 5 A problem in the VVT system 6 The PCM is faulty

Is there a repair cost estimate for p0016?

Due to the high number of possible causes of code P0016, as well as the wide range of current prices of replacement parts for every possible part that can fail and set this code as a result, it is not possible to provide a repair cost estimate for this code that is even reasonably accurate for any part of the USA.

What does fault code p0016 mean on a Peugeot RCZ?

We see quite a few Peugeot RCZ’s with engine management lights on and when diagnosed the fault code is P0016 Synchronization lack of coherence between engine speed sensor (crank sensor) and inlet camshaft sensor. This means that the engine is sensing that the timing of the vehicle engine is incorrect when running.

What is the significance of the code p0016?

Code P0016 should be considered serious, since the vehicle can be completely immobilized if the correlation between the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors fails completely. Moreover, depending on the application and the nature of the problem, some types of engines (interference type engines with timing belts)…

Where is the p0016 sensor located on a PCM?

Should the timing be off, the PCM will set a code P0016. This code stands for Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A). Where is the P0016 sensor located?

What are the symptoms of engine code p0016?

Code P0016 may be accompanied by several different symptoms. These including: an engine that runs poorly, an engine that cranks but will not start and an illuminated check engine light. What are common solutions to code P0016 ?

What does the p0016 code for bank 1 mean?

What the P0016 code means P0016 is the OBD-II generic code indicating that the camshaft position sensor for bank 1 does not correlate to the signal from the crankshaft position sensor. What causes the P0016 code? The camshaft timing is out of position due to the timing chain jumped teeth.

Why does my camshaft sensor have a p0016 code?

The code P0016 can be due to the camshaft sensor for bank 1 having an internal intermittent problem due to vibration or heat. These problems may or may not be able to be verified. If repeated attempts to find the failure end up in not verifying the code, then suspect a failing camshaft sensor. Need help with a P0016 code?
