DTC Descriptor
DTC P0017: Crankshaft Position (CKP) - Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation
Diagnostic Fault Information
Important: Always perform the
Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
Circuit/System Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor information to monitor the correlation between the crankshaft and camshaft positions.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | DTCs P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341 are not set. |
• | The engine is cranking or running. |
• | DTC P0017 runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects that the timing between the crankshaft and the camshaft is incorrect.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• | The control module stores the DTC information into memory when
the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate. |
• | The control module records the operating conditions at the time
the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure
Records. |
• | The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
• | A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs
and passes. |
• | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles,
if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic. |
• | Clear the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
• | Inspect the engine for any recent mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed camshaft position sensor, crankshaft, camshaft, or timing chain can cause this DTC to set. |
• | An incorrectly built exhaust camshaft can cause this DTC to set. |

Circuit/System Verification
Observe the DTC Information with a scan tool.
⇒ | If only DTC P0017 is displayed, continue with
Circuit/System Testing. |
Circuit/System Testing
- With the ignition OFF, inspect the crankshaft balancer bolt for the proper torque. Refer to
Fastener Tightening Specifications
.
- Inspect for incorrect installation of the CMP sensor. Refer to
Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement
.
- Inspect the engine for correct valve timing. Refer to
Camshaft Timing Chain, Sprocket, and Tensioner Replacement
.
Repair Verification
- Install any components or connectors that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.
- Perform any adjustments, programming, or setup procedures that are required when a component or module is removed or replaced.
- Clear the DTCs.
- Turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds.
- If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in order to verify the DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets or another DTC is present, refer to the
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle
and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
OR
If the repair was symptom related, duplicate the conditions under which the customer concern occurred to verify the repair. If the customer concern reoccurs, return to
Symptoms - Engine Controls
and perform the appropriate symptom diagnostic.
