P0016 Crankshaft Position-Camshaft Position Correlating

General Information

Component Location





General Description

A Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) is a magnetic type sensor that generates voltage using a sensor and a target wheel mounted on the crankshaft. The PCM calculates engine RPM by using the sensor's signal and controls the injection duration and the ignition timing.
Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is a hall sensor and detects the camshaft position by using a hall element. It is related with Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) and detects the piston position of the each cylinder which the CKPS can't detect. This CMPS signal is sent to the PCM and it uses CMPS signals for determining the ignition timing with CKPS signals. CMPS makes Sequential Injection possible.

DTC Description

If the deviation between CKPS and CMPS is bigger than the threshold value, PCM sets DTC P0016.
