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.

Seems like a likeable knowledgeable guy, good stuff

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!

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

Thanks friend for your information congratulations for your video

THANKS good info.

I have 2011 cadillac srx with GM 3.0L direct injection engine. I have a P0017 code and another for running lean. Does bulletin include this engine?

Good job brother

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.

Good job buddy

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?

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

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

09 traverse engine shuts off after it drives a while , starts back up , do you know anything about this situation?

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

so does the welds break on reluctor wheel?

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

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

Did you figure out the problem? Im having same issue

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

Me gusto tu video, me puedes explicar en español, cómo puedo saber la posición correcta, gracias

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?

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

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...

unfortunately not

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

From where do you count the sprockets,if I count I see 4 there. At BAD side there are a lot. I watched it couple of times bit couldn't understand dear friend. Can you please explain again. Thanks.

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.

All codes are off now except the P0017 and P0018 Crankshaft Position - Exhaust/ Intake Camshaft Position Not Plausible.
