P0017 on Dacia
Crankshaft/Camshaft Position Correlation - Bank 1 Sensor B
P0017 on Dacia vehicles indicates crankshaft/camshaft position correlation - bank 1 sensor b. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Dacia model — most commonly on Duster. This code means the engine computer has detected that the crankshaft and the Bank 1 'B' camshaft (typically the exhaust camshaft) are out of their proper timing relationship with each other. The computer compares the crankshaft position signal to the camshaft position signal, and when they don't line up within the allowed window, it sets this correlation code. This usually points to mechanical timing being off, most often from a stretched or worn timing chain, a slipped or stuck variable valve timing phaser, or a tensioner problem. You may notice rough running, low power, rattling at startup, or a no-start, and it should be addressed promptly to avoid valve-to-piston contact on some engines. Typical repair costs on Dacia range from $700 to $1,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0017
- •Stretched or worn timing chain
- •Worn or failed timing chain tensioner or guides
- •Stuck or faulty variable valve timing (VVT) cam phaser
- •Faulty VVT oil control/solenoid valve
- •Low or dirty engine oil affecting phaser operation
- •Faulty camshaft or crankshaft position sensor
- •Timing chain jumped a tooth or incorrect timing after service
- •Damaged reluctor (tone) ring
P0017 on Dacia by Model
Dacia Duster(1 issue)
- Duster 1.6 SCe H4M Timing Chain Stretch2017-2023
The Renault-Nissan H4M 1.6 SCe in Duster Mk2 (and Renault Kadjar/Captur, Nissan Qashqai/Juke) develops timing chain stretch typically at 80,000-140,000 km. Cold-start rattle, P0016/P0017 codes, eventual chain skip risk. Same engine family as Nissan HR16DE — same issue across all applications.

What does P0017 mean on Dacia?▼
P0017 stands for "Crankshaft/Camshaft Position Correlation - Bank 1 Sensor B." This code means the engine computer has detected that the crankshaft and the Bank 1 'B' camshaft (typically the exhaust camshaft) are out of their proper timing relationship with each other. The computer compares the crankshaft position signal to the camshaft position signal, and when they don't line up within the allowed window, it sets this correlation code. This usually points to mechanical timing being off, most often from a stretched or worn timing chain, a slipped or stuck variable valve timing phaser, or a tensioner problem. You may notice rough running, low power, rattling at startup, or a no-start, and it should be addressed promptly to avoid valve-to-piston contact on some engines. On Dacia specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
