#EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING BANK 1 CODE#
You are also going to be wasting fuel like crazy and potentially damaging your catalytic converter & O2 sensor mine started setting O2 sensor codes shortly after the cam code was set. A comparison to what this is like would be to take off from a light without allowing the RPM's to get over 1200. Save yourself some time by following the tips that were laid out above.Doc, having had this problem a number of times with my Astra, I can tell you that once the cam sticks in the "advanced: position, you will have no power whatsoever taking off from a light, and I do mean no power. If you don’t perform an in-depth inspection, you are going to miss the obvious and spend far too much time going down rabbit holes.
Plus, noticing a damaged wire doesn’t require any sophisticated diagnostic skills. You should be able to see a worn or broken timing chain or belt by checking the timing. With this trouble code, it’s often easy to find the problem if you perform a visual inspection. It’s important to carefully inspect all of the components involved. Replace crankshaft/camshaft tone ring – $100-$600.Replace timing chain/belt tensioner – $250-$3,000.Replace CMP actuator solenoid – $300-$3,000.Here are some estimates for possible parts and labor costs. The P0017 repair cost depends on what type of vehicle you own and what area you live in. Sometimes the issue could be more advanced than you are accustomed to dealing with. If you can’t find the fault, it might be best to have another mechanic take a look. If not aligned, you need to further inspect the timing tensioner and chain/belt. Check the camshaft/crankshaft alignment.Check the function of the oil control valve/Variable valve timing solenoid and crankshaft/CMP sensor signals with a compatible OBD-II scanner. View the freeze-frame data to see conditions when the code was set.You also want to look at the timing belt/chain for any obvious issues, if possible. Perform a visual check of the wiring and connectors.Take the vehicle for a test drive to see if the codes come back.Check for any other related issues to the camshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensors. Use a code scanner to clear the faults in the PCM.Here are some of the same steps they will follow. To figure out what’s wrong with your vehicle, you need to diagnose it just like the professionals do. Otherwise, you could be looking at an expensive bill you don’t need to pay for.
If the vehicle is still covered by this warranty, it might be best to have the dealership look at it and repair it. Many of today’s vehicles have extensive powertrain warranties that cover the majority of these faults. The biggest mistake is trying to diagnose something that would be covered under the powertrain warranty.
