DTC P0011/ P0014/ P0016/ P0017 DUE TO INCORRECT
CAMSHAFT RELUCTOR WHEEL CONFIGURATION
This Pitstop provides information on some 2010-2013MY Soul (AM), 2014-2019MY Soul (PS), and 2020~MY
Soul (SK3) vehicles equipped with the engines listed below, which may set DTC P0011, P0014, P0016, or
P0017 after an engine replacement. If these DTCs were not present prior to engine replacement, the camshaft
reluctor wheel (also called pulse wheel) may not be in the correct position when engine is at Top Dead Center
and may be sending an erroneous signal to the PCM, causing the DTC. Follow the procedure outlined in this
publication, with engine set to Top Dead Center (TDC), to inspect and identify whether the reluctor wheel is
correctly clocked on the camshaft, and if not, how to correctly position it.
DTC Description:
• P0011 – A (Intake) Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
• P0014 – B (Exhaust) Camshaft Position – Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
• P0016 – Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A [Intake])
• P0017 - Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor B [Exhaust])
