P0017 - CRANKSHAFT POSITION - CAMSHAFT POSITION CORRELATION - BANK 1 SENSOR B

Description: This DTC sets when a misalignment between the camshaft and crankshaft is detected. The test fails when the misalignment is 1 tooth or greater. This DTC can also set due to VCT system concerns (oil contamination or VCT solenoid stuck).
Possible Causes: Camshaft timing incorrectly set Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber Erratic camshaft position due to low oil pressure Oil flow restriction in the oil passages or the VCT valve body VCT12 solenoid stuck in position VCT12 circuit open VCT12 circuit short to voltage VCT12 circuit short to ground VPWR circuit open Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit) Damaged VCT12 phaser Damaged camshaft position 12 (CMP12) sensor CMP12 sensor circuits open CMP12 sensor circuits short to voltage CMP12 sensor circuits short to ground Radio frequency interference
Diagnostic Aids: This DTC may be accompanied by other DTCs. Diagnose all CMP sensor DTCs first. If no CMP sensor related DTCs are present, continue to follow diagnosis for this DTC. This DTC is a functional check of the VCT unit. Diagnose any base engine concerns related to the engine oil pressure or engine timing. Refer to the Engine System, Oil Pressure Test, to check the engine oil pressure. Refer to the Engine, Timing Drive Components, to check the engine timing and VCT phasers.
