DTC P0016: Crankshaft/Camshaft Timing Misalignment: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For component location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For connector identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For circuit identification and wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . In testing procedures Alpha/Numeric character in patientness i.e. (K4) designates circuit. After each repair procedure has been completed, reconnect all components. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5 under VERIFICATION TESTS to ensure system is functioning properly.

The crankshaft/camshaft timing misalignment is monitored when the ignition is on and the engine is cranking or running. DTC will set if the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects an error when the camshaft position is out of phase with the crankshaft position.
