DTC P0008: Description

The engine control module (ECM) tests for a mis-alignment between both camshafts on one bank of the engine and the crankshaft. The mis-alignment would be at an idler sprocket for bank 1 or at the crankshaft. Once the ECM learns the position of both camshafts on one bank of the engine, the ECM compares the learned values to a reference value. If the ECM detects both learned values for one bank of the engine is exceeding a calibrated threshold in the same direction, this DTC sets.
