P0016

2017-10-10

Description:

  • The fault code P0016 indicates that there is a correlation issue between the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor in bank 1, sensor A. This can cause poor engine performance and possibly prevent the engine from starting.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Poor engine performance

  • Engine may not start

  • Illuminated check engine light

  • Rough idle or stalling

  • Reduced engine power or acceleration.

Possible Causes:

  • Failed crankshaft position sensor

  • Failed camshaft position sensor

  • Wiring issues in the circuit

  • Timing chain or belt issues

  • Failed engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Crankshaft Position Sensor: The crankshaft position sensor monitors the position of the crankshaft to regulate fuel injection. Problems lead to engine misfire and engine stalling

  • Camshaft Position Sensor: The camshaft position sensor monitors the position of the camshaft to regulate fuel injection. Problems lead to stalling or car failing to start.

Possible Solutions:

  • Replace the failed crankshaft position sensor

  • Replace the failed camshaft position sensor

  • Inspect and repair any damaged wiring in the circuit

  • Inspect the timing chain or belt and replace if necessary

  • Replace the engine control module (ECM) if necessary
