DTC P0017: Crankshaft Position (CKP) - Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Correlation Bank 1
Which engine does yours have 3.4 or 2.8 , 3.0 , 3.2 , or 3.6 L
Chevy Colorado P0017 Case Study Part 1
I have a 2008 model. I am assuming the stabilitrak button(on my SUV) located next to the geer shift is turning the stabilitrak system
on and off OK? If not maybe just this switch is bad?
Unfortunately my stabilitrak alarm indicator has started coming on
periodically too. Mine seems to get reset after driving it for some
time then stopping and restarting after several short trips. I'm not
sure if mine is a real issue if it goes away after a while of driving.
The last time my "check engine" light came on also. When the
traction control alarm went away, so did the check engine alarm.
Good luck.

How to completely disable traction control on gm/chevy trucks and suv's. ... I got to anaheim the light of the ...
StabiliTrak Indicator Light: If the warning light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you are driving, there may be a problem with your StabiliTrak system and your vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on, the system is off and will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
This light will also flash when the StabiliTrak system is active. If the StabiliTrak system warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
The traction control part of StabiliTrak can be turned off by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak button if both systems (traction control and StabiliTrak) were previously on. To disable both traction control and StabiliTrak, press and hold the button for five seconds.
Traction control and StabiliTrak can be turned on by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak button if not automatically shut off for any other reason.
When the TCS or StabiliTrak system is turned off, the StabiliTrak light and the appropriate TCS off or StabiliTrak off message will be displayed on the DIC to warn the driver. Your vehicle will still have brake-traction control when traction control is off, but will not be able to use the engine speed management system.
If the StabiliTrak and/or Traction Control are not operating properly, I encourage you to take your vehicle in for inspection. A certified technician will be able to offer a more accurate diagnosis.
Sorry but unless you have a professional grade scan tool I don't see it happening ! Do you know where the anti-lock brakes computer is ? do you know what an where a yaw rate sensor is ?A Lateral Accelerometer Sensor ? They had problems with Steering Wheel Position Sensors. If the stabilitrak light is on , there is a DTC diagnostic trouble code stored in most cases .
The IPC illuminates the stability system caution indicator when one or more of the following conditions exists. The EBCM sets any one of many VSES-disabling DTCs. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination. You really need to take this to a qualified technician , you could end up costing yourself a lot more money in the long run !
If you get an ABS (anti lock brake system) light on as well, you probably have a bad front wheel bearing (the ABS wheel speed sensor is built-in). Check the harnesses going to the sensors first, they may be damaged from turning. If no ABS light accompanying the Stabilitrak message, then you will need to get it scanned for a diagnostic code to further evaluate.
It's telling you your stabilitrak system is not functioning properly. Sensors in system are failing and setting service light. You need a GM dealer to diagnose system.
The PCM (computer) is limiting the throttle because something is wrong with your suspension , steering or braking system. Have you had brakes worked on, changed tire sizes etc? The stabilitrack system gets feedback from sensors in each wheel> Such as speed, rotation angle etc and makes adjustments to stabilize the vehicle. If the sensors are not working properly or the braking is not balanced, the computer will throttle down the vehicle to prevent what it thinks is the beginning of a skid.
