How to fix P0017 Code: Camshaft Position B – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1)
A P0017 code is set when the computer (ECM/PCM) detects a misalignment between the crankshaft and camshaft positions.
Common causes of a P0017 code are a damaged or stretched timing belt/chain, a bad crankshaft/camshaft sensor, low or dirty oil, and a defective VVT component.
If the crankshaft/camshaft sensors are replaced, some vehicles need a Sensor Relearn procedure.
A P0017 code can sometimes be difficult to troubleshoot.
Possible Causes of a P0017 Code:
Low or Dirty Oil
Faulty Variable Valve Timing Component (VVT Solenoid, Actuator/Phaser)
Timing Chain or Timing Belt (Slipped, Stretched, Tensioner)
Bad Crank Sensor
Bad Cam Sensor
