I am getting a check engine light. When I run the scanner it comes up as P0017 Crankshaft Position-Exhaust
Camshaft Position- Not Plausible

Engine does not seem to be running rough. I am trying to determine which sensor I need to change. Any Ideas?

Hello,

I have seen engines low on oil or need an oil change get theses codes but if you have done that then here is a guide to help walk you through the sensor replacement and the location of the camshaft position sensor for your engine below:

Clear the codes once completed. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Ken, thanks for the help. I have the parts on order and will let you know how it turns out. On those reference images you posted, is the arrow pointing toward the front of the vehicle?
