DTC P0016: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation
Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor pulses to monitor the correlation between the crankshaft and the camshaft position. The crankshaft reluctor wheel consists of a 60-tooth pattern
with 2 teeth missing for the reference gap. Each tooth is evenly spaced 6 degrees apart except for the reference gap. The camshaft reluctor wheel has 4 teeth, 2 narrow and 2 wide. The 4 trailing edges of each tooth are
evenly spaced at 90 degrees apart around the circumference of the camshaft sprocket. With the engine running and the CMP actuator in the Park position, the ECM expects the camshaft signal pulses to occur 36 crankshaft degrees before top dead center
(BTDC) for cylinder number 1, and every 90 degrees thereafter.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | DTC P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0641, or P0651 is not set. |
• | The engine speed is less than 2,000 RPM. |
• | The CMP actuator is in the parked or home position. |
• | The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects 4 CMP pulses occur more than 11 crank degrees before, or 11 crank degrees after nominal position for 24 out of 30 engine cycles.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | DTC P0016 is a Type B DTC. |
• | The CMP actuator, if equipped, is commanded to the parked or home position. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0016 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to
Hybrid Modes of Operation Description.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.
- Start the engine.
- Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
- Allow the engine to idle.
- Observe the DTC information with a scan tool.
⇒ | If the scan tool indicates DTC P0016 has failed this ignition cycle, continue with the Circuit/System Testing. |
- If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification test, operate the vehicle within the Conditions For Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data list.
Circuit/System Testing
Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
- Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to
Hybrid Modes of Operation Description.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.
- Inspect the engine front cover area or review the service history of the vehicle for any recent repairs involving the timing chain, the timing chain tensioner, the camshaft, the crankshaft, the camshaft actuator, or the sprockets.
- Remove the engine front cover. Refer to
Camshaft Position Actuator Replacement and inspect the camshaft position actuator for wear or damage. Refer to
Camshaft Position Actuator Cleaning and Inspection.
⇒ | If any components are worn or damaged, replace as necessary. |
