What does the car trouble code P0016 mean?
1 Answers
Fault code P0016 indicates a correlation issue between the crankshaft position and camshaft position. The specific details are as follows: 1. Causes: The crankshaft converts the piston's up-and-down motion into rotational motion. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) continuously monitors the variable camshaft's timing position to check for misalignment between the camshaft and crankshaft. If this misalignment exceeds one tooth, this fault code will appear. Contaminated engine oil or a stuck variable camshaft solenoid valve may also trigger this fault code. 2. Repair method: Disconnect the battery terminals, wait a few minutes, then reconnect them and test the vehicle again.
