To ensure that the engine is timed properly, the PCM tests for misalignment between the camshafts on one bank of the engine and the crankshaft. The PCM may register the trouble code if the camshaft is misplaced relative to the crankshaft&rsquo;s position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This DTC could appear in a vehicle that has other related codes such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0009-code-engine-position-system-performance-bank-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0009\">P0009<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0016-code-camshaft-position-a-camshaft-position-correlation-bank-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0016\">P0016<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0017-code-camshaft-position-b-camshaft-position-correlation-bank-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0017\">P0017<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0018-code-crankshaft-position-camshaft-position-correlation-bank-2-sensor-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0018\">P0018<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0019-code-crankshaft-position-camshaft-position-correlation-bank-2-sensor-b\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"P0019\">P0019<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The P0008 code has many possible causes, from a worn timing chain to a defective variable valve timing actuator. This can make it difficult to determine its exact cause. Let your mechanic troubleshoot the issue if you are not confident with addressing the problem yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do decide to troubleshoot the issue yourself, you&rsquo;ll need to refer to factory repair information or a repair manual to know the correct steps and procedures.

This can make it difficult to determine its exact cause. Let your technician troubleshoot the issue if you are not confident with addressing the problem yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technicians will use an oscilloscope to examine the crank and cam sensor pattern the ECM\/PCM is reading while the engine is running. Analyzing the cam\/crank signals typically requires a full 720 degree capture of the crankshaft as shown below (blue trace), with both camshaft sensor traces (green and red) captured during 360 degrees of each camshaft rotation. Professional technicians will have a library of these patterns for comparison at various camshaft angles commanded by the ECM\/PCM, because the pattern varies widely from one automaker to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:1em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/is-the-mazda-rotary-engine-worthy-of-a-comeback\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c\"><style> .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #34495E!important; text-decoration:none; } .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c:active, .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#464646; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .ufd559bbf66fdbcad9c0e26b02971652c:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">See also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">Is the Mazda Rotary Engine Worthy of a Comeback?<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/oscilloscope-patterns-1024x508.png\" alt=\"oscilloscope patterns\" class=\"wp-image-66734\" width=\"1024\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/oscilloscope-patterns-1024x508.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/oscilloscope-patterns-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/oscilloscope-patterns-768x381.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/oscilloscope-patterns-150x74.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/oscilloscope-patterns.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Oscilloscope patterns | Image source: Richard McCuistian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the P0008 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The struggle to narrow down what triggered the P0008 code is not the only challenge DIYers must overcome to fix the issue.
