Order of inspection

  1. P0016 Crankshaft Position Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A) High

    The P0016 code means the computer compared the crankshaft sensor signal with the camshaft sensor signal and found an offset larger than allowed. It is a serious mechanical code: there is almost always a real problem with the timing, the tensioner or the variable valve timing system, and driving on can end in internal engine damage.
