The P0008 code is a common OBD-II code that shows up when there are problems with either the engine control module (ECM) or related engine components like the crankshaft and camshaft. These components are vital for powering the car and keeping it moving smoothly. The ECM communicates data to and from these parts to ensure they operate together effectively. Consequently, a linked component might have failed because of the same issue. Sometimes, this can also lead to the Check Engine light illuminating. Users have mentioned noticing performance issues linked to this same error code.
In a Chevy Traverse, this error code indicates that the engine control module detected a difference in the mechanical timing alignment of the crankshaft and the camshaft for bank 1.
