How to resolve improper installation of P0016 trouble code?
1 Answers
P0016 fault causes include issues with the camshaft position sensor itself or its circuit, crankshaft position sensor itself or its circuit, engine speed sensor failure, contaminated engine oil, stuck variable camshaft solenoid valve, etc. To resolve the trouble code, it is necessary to systematically eliminate and repair the above causes, then drive the vehicle for a certain distance and use the onboard computer for detection. Below is an extended introduction: 1. P0016 definition: P0016 is defined as Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation. 2. Function of the crankshaft: The crankshaft converts the up-and-down motion of the pistons into rotational motion. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) continuously monitors the timing position of the variable camshaft, checking the relative position between the camshaft and crankshaft. If the relative position misalignment exceeds one tooth, this trouble code will appear.
