The P0317 code means that the PCM has indicated that rough road hardware is not present.
When the P0317 code is present, the powertrain control module has found a variation in the crankshaft position. The vehicle’s computer believes that the reason is because the road conditions are rough or uneven. When the crankshaft position moves in an unexpected manner because of the road conditions, it will often store the code. In some cases, it will require multiple failure cycles before the code causes the Check Engine Lamp to come on.
The following are the most common causes of the P0317 code:
The stored trouble code could cause a malfunction indicator lamp to light up. In some cases, there can also be issues with the vehicle’s traction control or the antilock brake systems. In addition, there may be engine misfires.
The mechanic will utilize an OBD-II scanner to help them with the diagnosis. It is easy to overlook issues when there is an isolated misfire of the engine or crankshaft inconsistency. The scanner will help the mechanic determine the actual problem. They will then reset the code and test drive the vehicle. They do this so they can see if the code returns. If it does, they know that there is an issue that they need to investigate further.
The most common mistakes when diagnosing the P0317 code are replacing certain parts unnecessarily. They might replace the wheel speed sensors, the crankshaft position sensors, or the camshaft when those parts do not need to be replaced.
While it might not seem serious, it actually can be a big problem. In addition to the engine misfires, there could also be issues with the traction control as well as the antilock brake system. These are extremely important elements of your vehicle, and you do not want to have anything go wrong with them. Make sure you take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic who can check the vehicle and make the proper repairs.
