Sorry to start a new thread regarding this, but i just found out what code is triggering the check engine light for my 2005 Kia Sorento: P0016 cam crank correlation. What are the possible causes for this? My timing belt, crank gear, harmonic balancer were just replaced. The check engine light was not on prior to this, which leads me to believe that both sensors are good. My buddy who did the work for me said he checked the timing alignment by rotating a full rotation by hand (twice) and that it looked good. He used the specs from Kiatechinfo. Could the timing have gotten off after starting the engine? The vehicle appears to be running fine, although I did notice that it is shifting between gears when ‘coasting’ and idling a little off (some vibrations). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! I really hope that we do not have to remove the crank bolt again (hoping we can access the cam through the top cover).
IMHO it sounds like “your buddy” didn’t quite get things aligned right.
I think you need to research exactly what this code means, in fact it is in the wrong format (needs 3 numbers not 2 and the second number cannot be a zero) and don’t take the short definition of a code so literally.
This code P0016 is not in my book of generic or KIA specific codes.
It’s in my book as a generic. “Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor A”
BTW, even P0001 is a valid code. Maybe there used to be a rule about no “0” as a second digit, but it’s not valid now.
There are plenty of P00xx codes.

When the timing belt is replaced, and the crank pulley is reinstalled, the tone ring for the crankshaft position sensor must be splined properly in time with the crank pulley or it will spin freely on the crankshaft. This will then cause the crankshaft position sensor to be out of time with the camshaft position sensor causing this code.
I’m afraid your buddy is going to have to take the crank pulley off again to make sure the tone ring for the crank sensor is properly splined in time with the crank pulley.
Tester
My book "OBD II Diagnostic Fault Codes by Peter David lists over 4000 codes both generic and KIA specfic and does not list any P00xx codes.
One example, you have P0042 H02OS Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 3)and I have this same code as a P0147, I wonder what is up. My book is from 2003
EDIT: I did find a site that lists a “zero” in the second place but this was a list from 1995. The ‘zero’ is supposed to indicate a generic code. I worked for KIA in 2004 and we never dealt with codes that had a zero in the second place, this leads me to the conclusion that the system that uses a zero in the second place is the older system.
KIA had a problem in 2004 with some of its 4 cyl engines “jumping” timing but these engines never set any code indicating the cam and crank were out of sync.
I agree with tester just because that’s what I said at the very beginning, your buddy didn’t align everything up.
