2011 Mercedes C300 P0017 Diagnostic Trouble Code: Fix and Smog Readiness Solution
The check engine light is on for crankshaft position camshaft position correlation sensor bank 1 sensor B, identified by trouble code P0017. I am unable to pass smog inspection until this issue is resolved. I have already changed the oil and replaced all four camshaft position sensors as well as the passenger-side magnetic sensor. The vehicle runs smoothly with excellent acceleration, stable idle, no stalling or starting issues. There is a slight bump when turning corners, which may be due to low differential fluid—this will be addressed tomorrow. Despite normal driving performance, the P0017 code persists and requires diagnosis. Any accurate troubleshooting steps or recommendations for this specific 2011 Mercedes C300 issue are greatly appreciated.
