We often get vehicles that other shops worked on and the customer brings it to your shop for a 2nd opinion. I had 4 of these in the last few months from other shops .
Complaint:
Customer complained these codes came on after head gaskets replacement or timing chain replacement. Codes come back under a slight to heavy acceleration. Also, when cleared they will not come back when all terrain programs are used.
Problem:
When pining the flywheel, the customer either tried to start the engine (with the pin still in the flywheel) or turned the engine over by hand (forgetting the pin in still in the flywheel). They could of also used the pin to lock the flywheel so they can loosen the crank pulley nut. This causes damage to the flywheel alignment pin hole which is pictured below, causing a corrupt crankshaft signal.
Solution:
Replace the flywheel (flex plate)
Note: See attatched picture top flywheel is new flywheel and bottom is damaged pin hole
