Crankshaft Position Sensor Code P0016

Obd ii code p0016 is defined as a crankshaft position camshaft position correlation.

Crankshaft position sensor code p0016. Throwing codes p0016 cam crank position correlation sensor a bank 1 and code p0300 random multiple cyl. Camshaft position a camshaft position correlation bank 1 what the p0016 code means. The crankshaft position sensor ckp and camshaft position sensor cmp work in harmony to control the spark fuel delivery and timing. Perform a visual inspection of the sensors and connections.

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. On most applications the camshaft position sensor s are located in or on the valve cover to place the sensor s in close proximity with a reluctor ring or protrusion on the camshaft s that interrupt s the sensors. However if something does go wrong with your crankshaft and camshaft then you will not know due to the faulty sensor. Thermostat replaced fuel injector cleaner for t.

Crankshaft position camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor a. The error code p0016 is triggered when the bank 1 camshaft position sensor doesn t match the signal from the crankshaft position sensor. This code stands for crankshaft position camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor a. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel that has seven machined slots 6 of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart.

They both consist of a reluctor or tone ring which passes over a magnetic sensor which generates a voltage indicating position. Obd2 code p0016 skoda definition. What does p0016 code mean. Where is the p0016 sensor located.

Crankshaft position camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor b diagnostic trouble codes. The crankshaft position sensor s may be located on the crankshaft pulley also known as harmonic stabiliser flywheel flexible plate or on the fuel pump for some diesel engines. P0016 meaning the crankshaft position ckp sensor is a permanent magnet generator known as a variable reluctance sensor. Again if the code is due to a faulty sensor then you are not in any real danger.
