The P0008 fault code applies to all car manufacturers and means “Engine Position System Performance (Bank 1)”.
Background Information: The crankshaft converts the up-and-down motion of the pistons into rotational motion. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves. The Engine Position System uses signals from the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to generate an angle counter. This angle counter is then synchronized with the crankshaft wheel angle to provide the engine’s current position. This fault code appears if the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) detects that the two camshafts in Line 1 are not aligned with the crankshaft for a certain period of time.
Tip: To quickly find fault codes, you can use a professional OBD2 scanner to obtain the corresponding fault codes, which can help pinpoint the exact problem. This data can help you understand the performance of vehicle components and troubleshoot potential problems before they become serious.
