Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Buick LaCrosse and 2005 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor signals to monitor the correlation between the crankshaft and camshaft positions. If the PCM detects that the timing between the crankshaft and the camshaft is incorrect, DTC P0016 sets.
