2017 Mercedes GLC300 P0016 code Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement

The car owner did his own research and asked us to replace the crankshaft position sensor in hope to fix his long crank and check engine light that is caused by P0016 The Position of the intake camshaft (cylinder bank 1) is implausible relative to the position of the crankshaft. There is a signal above the permissible limit value. This video applies to the following vehicles as all use the same engine.
2012-2021 C-Class
2013-2023 E-Class
2015-2020 SLC-Class
2013-2016 GLK-Class
2015-2022 GLC-Class
2015-2019 Infiniti Q50
2016-2023 Infiniti Q60

M276 V6 and M278 V8 have the same issues. I wish Mercedes would quit buying camshafts from 3rd world countries.

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Agree

Sorry Brother but a P0016 & neighboring code numbers are timing codes on practically every engine in the world, I would not have changed the CKP sensor, I would have told the owner up front he was chasing the wrong symptom and a misunderstanding of the code. This is typically a timing code for stretched chain, VVT Solenoid issue, VVT Actuator issue, slipped cam pulse wheel and slipped cam if it has press-on parts, all related to timing in the VVT realm, not a CKP sensor. BUT I do understand that this deal is on the owner, if he diagnosed it down to a sensor and 2 hours labor, then its up to him as the job would come with no warranty without my own diag and diag fee. At the end of the video now I understand the WHY for the story, cheaper labor in Africa and a free diag from you if you gave the timing issue information. I Exported cars from Japan for a little while, I lived there for 20 years, to a different part of the world so I completely understand his reasoning. It's even nicer when you can fit 6 medium-sized vehicles into a shipping container instead of only 4 based on size.

[@alejandroraymendez9943]

Have same issue. Slow start, battery and alternator good. Rattle noise at cold start up, change the taiming chain tensioner, and stop the rattle noise. Wondering if this late start comes from a jumped chain due to using bad tensioner for a prolong time. . . Where can i see the links of cam positions Best !! Great video and explanation !

[@thesnipersnestandmore7461]

Crank and cam codes together that is..

[@DallasAutoDiag]

I see

[@soundvillage9637]

Finally been looking all over dame KZbin for this video thanks Playa’s did this to my 2017 E300 same process

[@DallasAutoDiag]

No problem

[@papercut1987]

Done! Your video helped me tremendously. Almost the whole process was done blindfolded, I would never knew that last bolt is a size torx E8. Going in from the top isn't a good option unless you remove the cat. Removing the first heat shield for the axle wasn't necessary, but you really need long hand and slim forearm. I also used the back of a screw to remove the locking clip on the sensor (I practiced with other clips in the engine bay before going down blind).

[@DallasAutoDiag]

I'm glad my video helped you

[@anzarqazi7364]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I was able to follow your video and install the sensor. Is there an easy way to install the heat shield, the one near the catalytic convert. I couldn't get that one back on.

[@DallasAutoDiag]

As far as I remember I installed it the same way I took off. Yes it's not easy to do but it's doable

[@isalmankhan1]

Man that sensor lives in a very difficult location, I mean seriously how you replaced it was only by experience👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great work BRO, Thanks for sharing😍😍😍

[@DallasAutoDiag]

My fingers hurt for a whole day after lol

[@nickayivor8432]

ASTUTE Dallas Auto Diag Can't wait for the next video 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧 ⏰️ 07:12am Good Morning

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Hey Nick

[@RicoRaRoWillie]

Didn’t you change the crank shaft sensor ,? Because the code is for a CAM shaft sensor , which is a different sensor

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Yes sir. I was hired to replace the crankshaft sensor while it's a cam issue

[@ocbrownsr]

Nice video literally took 15 minutes once I saw your video.

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Glad I could help

[@thesnipersnestandmore7461]

Anytime you have crank and cam codes think timing..

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Good advice thanks

[@rovinoliva3919]

I have the same issue with my 2016 Mercedes Benz GLC300

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Hope you fix it

[@paimannasiri6974]

Did you fixed your GLC???

[@paimannasiri6974]

I have 2016 GLC300 too

[@uptownfragrance6148]

Bro i got 2016 s550 that doing the same thing as well mercedes needs to do a recall for this issue ​@paimannasiri6974

[@tiacurtia]

What was the fee for this service?

[@DallasAutoDiag]

I believe it was near 3 hours of labor

[@DallasAutoDiag]

3 hours of labor

[@roro85600]

I have p0016 i change all capteur is same

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Let a profisional tech diagnose it for you

[@papercut1987]

I have P0339, same symptom. sometimes engine jerking while driving😢

[@papercut1987]

dealer quoted 3h of work

[@DallasAutoDiag]

Sorry to hear that.

[@DallasAutoDiag]

How much is the 3h at dealer?

[@papercut1987]

@@DallasAutoDiag the Merc I went to want 212$CAD/hour. the part is 106. that's about 850 after taxes 🤧 I'm thinking maybe to do it from the top this weekend, removing airbox and a heat shield (I'll try to not touch the Cat, bolts are all rusted). more parts to remove, but bolts and nuts might be easier accessible. fingers crossed 😄
