  2. Idle the engine at normal operating temperature for 10 minutes. DTC P0016, P0017, P0018, or P0019 should not set.

      • A timing chain tensioner condition
      • An incorrectly installed timing chain
      • Excessive play in the timing chain
      • A timing chain that jumped teeth
      • A crankshaft reluctor wheel that has moved in relationship to top dead center (TDC) on the crankshaft
  3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
