Timing Belt / Chain Fault Codes for Ford

P0011 – “A” Camshaft Position – Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
Description: Indicates that the timing of the camshaft is over-advanced, which can be related to a timing belt issue.

P0012 – “A” Camshaft Position – Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)

P0016 – Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
Description: This code signifies a misalignment between the crankshaft and camshaft, potentially due to a timing belt problem.

P0017 – Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor B)
Description: Indicates a timing misalignment, which could be due to a worn or stretched timing belt.

P0018 – Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 2 Sensor A)
Description: This code points to a correlation issue between the crankshaft and camshaft on the second bank, possibly due to timing belt issues.

P0019 – Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 2 Sensor B)
Description: Indicates a misalignment that might be caused by a faulty timing belt.

P0021 – “A” Camshaft Position – Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 2)
Description: Over-advanced camshaft timing, often related to timing belt problems.

P0022 – “A” Camshaft Position – Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)
