For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.When Monitored:Engine cranking and Engine runningSet Condition:Powertrain Control Module detects an error when the camshaft position is out of phase with the crankshaft position. One Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.Possible CausesERRATIC CAM POSITION SENSOR SIGNALCAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL/PULSE RINGERRATIC CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SIGNALCRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL/PULSE RINGCAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORCRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORAlways perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).1. ACTIVE DTC When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.With the scan tool clear the DTC(s).Start the engine and run until operating temp is reached. (Closed Loop)If the DTC does not reset it may be necessary to test drive the vehicle.Does the P0016 return?YesGo To 2NoRefer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE) 2. CHECKING THE CMP SIGNAL WITH A LAB SCOPEWith a lab scope, backprobe the (K44) CMP Signal circuit at the CMP Sensor harness connector.When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.Start the engine.Observe the lab scope screen.Are there any irregular or missing signals?YesGo To 3NoGo To 63. CMP WIRE HARNESS INSPECTIONTurn the ignition off.Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.Make sure the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Camshaft Position Sensor are properly installed and the mounting bolt(s) are torqued to their proper specification.Refer to any TSBs that may apply.Were any of the above conditions present?YesRepair as necessary.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE) NoGo To 44. TONE WHEEL/PULSE RING INSPECTIONRemove the Camshaft Position Sensor.Inspect the Tone Wheel/Pulse Ring for damage, foreign material, or excessive movement.Were any problems found?YesRepair or replace the Tone Wheel/Pulse Ring as necessary.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 55. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.RepairReplace the Camshaft Position Sensor.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE) 6. ERRATIC CMP SIGNAL Turn the ignition off.Remove the lab scope probe.When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Ignition on, engine not running.With scan tool, erase DTCs.Start the engine.Gently tap on and wiggle the Cam Position Sensor.Ignition on, engine not running.Inspect the Sensor connector and harness connector, and inspect the PCM connector and harness connector for loose, bent, corroded, or pushed out pins/terminals.Inspect the related wire harness and the splices in the CMP circuit.Does the P0016 return?YesRepair the wiring/connector concerns as needed or replace the Camshaft Position Sensor.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 77. CHECKING THE CKP SIGNAL WITH A LAB SCOPETurn the ignition off.With a lab scope, backprobe the (K24) CKP Signal circuit at the CKP harness connector.When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Start the engine.Observe the lab scope screen.Are there any irregular or missing signals?YesGo To 8NoGo To 108. CKP WIRE HARNESS INSPECTIONTurn the ignition off.Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.Make sure the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Camshaft Position Sensor are properly installed and the mounting bolt(s) are torqued to their proper specification.Refer to any TSBs that may apply.Were any of the above conditions present?YesRepair as necessary.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 99. TONE WHEEL/FLEX PLATE INSPECTIONRemove the Crankshaft Position Sensor.Inspect the Tone Wheel/Flex Plate slots for damage, foreign material, or excessive movement.Were any problems found?YesRepair or replace the Tone Wheel/Flex Plate as necessary.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoReplace the Crankshaft Position Sensor.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).10. ERRATIC CKP SIGNAL The conditions that set this DTC are not present at this time. The following test may help in identifying the intermittent condition.When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Start the engine.Gently tap on and wiggle the Crank Position Sensor.Turn the ignition off.Inspect the Sensor connector and harness connector, and inspect the PCM connector and harness connector for loose, bent, corroded, or pushed out pins/terminals.Inspect the related wire harness and the splices in the CKP circuits.Were any problems found?YesRepair the wiring/connector concerns as needed or replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor.Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.
