Chevy Traverse Timing Related Issues p0016 p0017 p0018 p0019

[@junglebiscuit43]

I am just taking my traverse to the nearest junk yard. The 2009 Traverse has to be one of the worst vehicles ever manufactured. This car is an embarrasment to GM/Chevy. Did anyone ever think of driving this vehicle before it was released. I pray daily for anyone else who owns this vehicle. I have owned the vehicle for 2 years and it has been ripped apart 6 times with everything replaced. All the known service bulletins have been done. Every issue found on forums have been either checked or completed. This is an absolute nightmare. Thank you for letting me vent.

[@Gmgm-sk8ds]

Great information. The only thing is you this in a primitive way, use an inspection camera. I was able to the check by my self with a Milwaukee camera. there are relatively cheap usb cameras for smart phones as well.

[@TheAntarcticEmperor]

Huge help, thanks! This is a pain to check on the AWD version but your method still works.

[@calvinh208]

But it is possible on an AWD?

[@kemintlow5021]

I did get my crankshaft position sensor fixed but I still have the check engine light on... BUT I'm really only commenting because I love your energy!

Thanks friend for your information congratulations for your video

[@Virgilitomoto]

Ok hermano una pregunta !!cuando tu chequea y vez que no esta en posicion asi como dices , como se soluciona el problema entonses???

[@aicoding3569]

If we do see this issue on the sprocket shown in the video, is it just that the sprocket that needs to be changed? I didn’t see the “fix” instructions on the vid. What would be your next steps?

[@AntonioRamirez-zk4co]

True 👍

[@chrisstromberg6527]

Awesome video! My car is throwing just the P0017, I’m guessing it’s not the reluctor wheel in the crankshaft or I would be throwing more codes?

[@pedrojimenez4498]

Hey how you doing I took the crankshaft position I see the teeth with rotate the balancer but am I supposed to see a gap or is this supposed to be a gap because I did what you told me to do and I see the only thing I see is the teeth from the dapper You have to be specific what to be aware of when rotating

[@roundcornerent]

THANKS good info.

[@davidwilliams2005]

I'm also getting pooo9 code and just installed new rimming chains and gears

[@wanderer542]

so does the welds break on reluctor wheel?

[@stevejami8074]

Good job buddy

[@ramonhd5884]

Good job brother

[@alantorchia6674]

When you're looking in the hole, all I see are the teeth, where in relation to the crankshaft is that location. Can you show the actual procedure and how you count teeth while looking through the hole? I don't know what area you can see through the hole

[@danishzd]

you have to rotate the engine by hand until you see the gap,

[@cjf3838]

And if the gap is off, then what? He doesn’t tell how to fix anything.

[@lxlChainlxl]

Thanks bro I'm doing a timing chain I have the same 4 codes in my case I had to take the transfer case because this is an all wheel drive but now I can go ahead and change the timing chains because I know the ring tone for the crankshaft position sensor on this engine is good. I would of hate to change the timing chain and I had a bad ring tone and I would be getting the same codes I that was to happen I would of lost my mind and grew some gray hairs be now I know it's good thanks to you video so I can go ahead and put the new timing chains

You are very welcome, thanks for your comment

I have P0017 code on Acadia engine runs fine and no another codes. What could be problem?

[@davidpierotti628]

If the gear or sprocket on crank has turned...do i need a new crankshaft or is that serviceable? I did timing chains, actuators/phasers, and have the cam holding tools for both stages...but now have a p0019 code

[@elilopez2517]

Did you figure out the problem? Im having same issue

[@garmin1488]

Also it seems to me that if the reluctor ring has moved you should just be able to reprogram or calibrate the ECM.

[@joellatanzio2975]

U showed us what the problem is but how do I fix it now ??? My Acadia is doing this now and I think the magnet has moved. Please help me with the repair.

[@TheAntarcticEmperor]

It's a BIG job to replace the crankshaft. This is more of a diagnostic video, because this problem can be caused by either the crankshaft OR the timing chains, both are expensive and it would suck to do the wrong one based on a bad guess.

[@GilbertMerino-i1w]

I have a question how do I fix Variables value timing on a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse lt awd

[@samuelstrother4363]

has anyone just turned the tone ring back and tacked it in place? seems like this should be possible. I am working on a 2010 Vue that has these codes, being all wheel drive I'm considering if it is easier to pull the oil pan or transferase motor. Makes more since to pull the oil pan if I find the tone ring off and i can somehow turn it back...

[@joellatanzio2975]

Is there an easy repair for this or do I need to pull the engine out ??

[@prospexican]

what about if i only have 1 code? P0017? for bank 1 only. could it be timing chain? or guides or tensioner on that bank?

[@dwightlee6164]

did you fix it? i have only p0017 code as well. it seems the timing chain stretched issue from searching all other videos..

[@prospexican]

@@dwightlee6164 hi, im in the process of timing chain replacement, ill let u know how does it do, the only thing i notice is that i was able to push down the timing belt tensioner on bank 1, the othe 2 tensioners wer very stiff or very fix w no movement at all but the bank 1 was able to push it and was not under pressure as the other 2.

[@prospexican]

@@dwightlee6164 was that question for me?

[@mm-de2jg]

@@prospexican any updates on this issue? I have a 2010 traverse fwd with misfire on bank one cylinders. P0016, p0017, p0019. Thank you in advance

[@olajuwondewees6915]

Good video sir. I do have a question though. How will you know when it is the correct position as shown on the paper? I ask because, that part was not in your video.

[@chrisstromberg6527]

You would count three teeth between crank and space where there are no teeth.

[@cjf3838]

Can you really tell that through the sensor hole???

[@SwankMustangGT]

If I’m only pulling codes P0016 and P0017 I should only have a stretched timing chain?

[@aykutyildiz7133]

How did you fix this issue? Is there any solution without replacing crankshaft?

[@garmin1488]

unfortunately not

[@coopdc78]

Can you pull this crankshaft out while engine in car? What's the going rate for a crank replacement

[@psautomotive5530]

No. Engine has to come out

[@dancurrier6421]

hello I have a 2016 Chevy Traverse Lt AWD on the passenger side of the engine under the power steering lines on the engine there's sensors that go inside the engine one of mine broke of inside not sure which one it is I thought it was the crank shaft position sensor but after watching videos it's not please help me figure this out ty

[@PreacherDann]

What start are you located

[@mikec3571]

Could it actually be crank shaft sensor itself?

[@prospexican]

probably setting engine at TDC will place it on the desired inspection position

[@chadfisher3975]

Mine is a 2009, AWD. The crankshaft positioning sensors are on the front (Passenger side) of the engine. I have both the P0016, P0017 (bank one-against the fire wall). with a mirror I can see into the hole, but which one exhaust or intake should I be spinning to the location you showed, both look very similar through the peep hole. I have replaced all 3 chains and guides, followed the procedure to a "T" with the special cam blocks to prevent cam rotation, and the engine runs great other than a little rough idle once it warms up, I am hoping resolving this code, will resolve that...any guidance please...this is the only video that comes close to explaining what I am seeing.

[@brucemader1253]

Those are the camshaft position sensors

[@lxautosolution8654]

so what you are trying to explain is what? if the tone ring is moved then what do you do? i replaced the timing chains on a 3.6 with the solenoids and the cam gears but i keep getting the p0016 and p0018.

[@mdlimy]

Tsb calls for the whole crank to be replaced. If it was me and I was prepared to pull the crank out, I would just forcibly rotate the wheel back to its correct position and either drill and pin it in place or severs stitch welds.

[@aykutyildiz7133]

@@mdlimy Can welding or drilling cause imbalance issue? Can it be done on the car without removing crankshaft?

[@aykutyildiz7133]

Have you fixed it? I am in the same boat. I replaced chains for my camaro v6 3.6, P0008 and P0016 remains.

If you have all 4 of these codes then it's probably something to do with that crankshaft. If it's just 1 or 2 codes on 1 side of the engine it's probably bad chains. Correct?

Buen video amigo, entonces al salir esos 4 códigos, lo más recomendable es cambiar la cadena de distribución y ponerlo a punto? Eso es lo que trataste de decir? Gracias de antemano

[@psautomotive5530]

Exactamente.

[@prospexican]

que tal hay un service bulletin que dice que si obtienes p0017 y p0016 o mas codigos e recomendable inspeccionar el engrane que manda la señal al sensor del cigueñal porque a veces se gira un poco y requeriria un ciguenal.

Your timing chain is stretched sensor is not the issue

[@davidsterling8716]

@@mikestoms4015 I have this very code (P0017) in a Suzuki xl-7 with the 3.6L engine. timing chains were done almost a year ago. car had zero issues until a week ago when i got a P0014 code, changed the engine oil and now its a P0017. changed both bank 1 solenoids, and both bank 1 cam sensors. problem is still there. I have a hard time believing the chain is bad again for the simple fact its only 1 code. if the secondary chain was stretched i would believe i would see P0016 and P0017 codes since they on the same chain. i'm leaning more to a bad cam phaser. I've alo checked the wiring from all cam sensors and valve actuators back to the ECM to rule out wiring issue's.

Exactly the same thing here, purchased my 2009 acadia with high miles, still on original timing chain and 17 codes all related to timing issues. Me and my daughter replaced the chains (3) purchased the keeper jigs to stop engine movement when installing the new chain. All codes are off now except the P0017 and P0018 Crankshaft Position - Exhaust/ Intake Camshaft Position Not Plausible. Engine runs well when its moving, but a little rough on the idle, I hope fixing this will fix it...just not sure how to get this fixed. I installed new sensors and valves with the chain...anyone have an idea of what Im missing?
