Suzuki xl7 2007 when you wiggle key in ignition check engine comes on with code p0008

Great answer
my guess, op simple turns key to on, and is not really wiggling it.
just doing the normal thing. to start car.
then fails to ask a real question, just a statement in fact.
what does it mean.
what do i do (get car serviced as the opr. guide states)
what tests to do, if DIY savvy, RTM?
just 4 bucks to read it .

what is a good guess? (my guess is loose cam drive.)
all my guesses are useless..... car unseen or inspected.
3.6L V6. GM LY7 engine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_High_Feature_engine#LY7
Suzuki calls this the N36A engine.
with VVT cam drive
if the chain gets loose it can fail. this.
and lost more....
get it serviced?
or the tensioner is bad.? (wild useless guess 2)
x marks the spot?

DTC P0008: Engine Position System Performance Bank 1

DTC P0009: Engine Position System Performance Bank 2

Circuit/System Description

The engine control module (ECM) tests for a misalignment between both camshafts on one bank of the engine and the crankshaft. The misalignment would be at an idler sprocket for either bank or at the crankshaft. Once the ECM learns the position of both camshafts on one bank of the engine, the ECM compares the learned values to a reference value. The ECM will set a DTC if both learned values for one bank of the engine are exceeding a calibrated threshold in the same direction. Wiggling the key has nothing to do with this DTC .

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that both camshafts on either bank of the engine are mis-aligned with the crankshaft for more than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 50 seconds.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect the engine for any recent engine mechanical repairs. An incorrectly installed secondary timing chain can cause this DTC to set.


A single failed camshaft actuator or actuator solenoid will not cause this DTC to set. This diagnostic algorithm is designed to detect an alignment condition between a primary intermediate sprocket and the secondary timing chain, or the alignment between a primary intermediate sprocket and the crankshaft. Either condition would cause the camshaft timing for both cams on one bank to be off an equal number of degrees.

The presence of DTCs P0008 and P0009 along with P0016, P0017, P0018, and P0019 indicates a possible condition with the primary timing chain and the alignment between both intermediate sprockets and the crankshaft. Or, the crankshaft reluctor wheel has moved and is no longer referenced to top dead center (TDC).

Observing the desired and actual camshaft angle parameters, with a scan tool before a DTC sets, may help to isolate whether a condition is specific to one camshaft, one bank, or caused by a condition with the primary crankshaft timing.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Inspect the timing chains and tensioners for excessive wear or misalignment.
   

If you find a condition with the timing chains or tensioners, repair as necessary.


2. Inspect the crankshaft reluctor wheel for being mispositioned on the crankshaft.
