2010 GMC Terrain P0017 Error Code: Crankshaft and Camshaft Sensor Issue

Model: 2010 GMC Terrain Fault Code: P0017 Posted: 2016-12-12 15:45

My 2010 GMC Terrain with a V6 engine is displaying error code P0017 related to the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. The vehicle runs smoothly and shows no noticeable performance issues, but the OBD2 diagnostic tool consistently reports this fault code. What could be causing this? Is it a sensor issue, wiring problem, or something else?

P0017 error code typically indicates a misalignment or failure in the crankshaft or camshaft position sensors. For the 2010 GMC Terrain V6, this can stem from sensor wear, loose connections, or mechanical issues like bent reluctor rings. Check for proper sensor alignment and ensure all wiring harnesses are secure. Reference: https://www.obd-codes.com/p0017

Hi GSpil — did you ever resolve your P0017 issue in Bank 1? I'm experiencing the same code, but with a rough idle and misfires in cylinders #3 and #5 after replacing the timing chains and tensioners. I suspect either a bent reluctor ring on the actuator (Bank 1) or a stuck sensor. Could it be a plugged sensor gallery? Any insights from others who've faced this?

Where is the crankshaft position sensor located in the 2010 GMC Terrain V6? I'm trying to locate it for inspection and testing.
