Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update Model Years. Please discard PIP3423N.
Condition / Concern
Vehicles equipped with 2.8 LP1, 2.8 LAU, 3.0 LF1, 3.0 LFW, 3.6 LFX, 3.6 LFY, 3.6 LLT, or 3.6 LY7 HFV6 engines may exhibit two or more of the following DTCs: P0016, P0017, P0018, P0019, P0008 or P0009.
Recommendations / Instructions
If the above concern is present, check for loose timing chains or tensioners.
If after following SI diagnostics the root cause is not found, the following may be helpful.
The reluctor for the crankshaft sensor pressed onto the rear of the crankshaft may have moved. Refer to attached photographs for exact location.
(It is possible on some applications to view this with a bore scope through the crank sensor hole without removing the oil pan)
If the reluctor has moved then replace crankshaft.
NOTE: If There Is Doubt About Movement or Not, Compare to a New Crank Prior to Dis-Assembly.


1= The actual measurement of a good Reluctor wheel.
25 to 26 mm This measurement is from the end of the machined surface of the crankshaft throw to the edge of the open space in the reluctor. (approximately 3 1/2 teeth)

2 and 3 = Show a good reluctor next to a bad reluctor.

Crankshaft with bad reluctor wheel.
NOTE: The distance can be offset either clockwise or counter clockwise. Both will result in these codes.
NOTE: The balance hole does not come into play when determining if the reluctor has slipped or not.
