DTC Descriptor
DTC P0016: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Camshaft Position (CMP) CorrelationCircuit/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 camshaft position. The crankshaft reluctor wheel consists of a 60-tooth pattern with 2 teeth missing for a 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 90 camshaft degrees apart. As the ECM expects CMP sensor pulses to occur 36 crankshaft degrees before top dead center (BTDC) at cylinder number 1, and every 90 camshaft degrees thereafter.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTC P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0641, or P0651 is not set. |
| • | The engine is running. |
| • | The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the CMP sensor pulses occur less than or more than 9 crankshaft degrees outside of the normal position for 25 out of 35 engine cycles.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0016 is a Type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0016 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification
- 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 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
- Inspect the engine or review the service history of the vehicle for any recent repairs involving the timing chain, camshaft, or crankshaft.
- Inspect the timing components. Refer to Camshaft Timing Chain and Sprocket Cleaning and Inspection.
| ⇒ | If recent repairs were made, refer to Camshaft Timing Chain and Sprocket Replacement and inspect the timing chain and sprockets for proper alignment. |
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
