Dear All

My first time using the website , so hello.

After reading a few blogs, the website seems to be really helpful and informative. So I hope someone can help or at least give me direction.

I have a Lexus GS 450h, and whilst driving my engine management light came on, I took it to Lexus who have said it came up with an error code of p0017 crankshaft position camshaft position correlation B1/SB, possible stretched timing chain. Could this be anything else or is the chain definitely stretched?

Also after having the light reset a few days later a fault came on the screen say check hybrid Battery, this also stopped the hybrid Battery working and put the antiskid light on the dash too.

Could any one please offer any advise. Thank you in advance.

The P0017 could be a result of work being done on the engine incorrectly rather than a stretched chain. See here:

Ideally we would need to know the new fault codes to determine the Battery issue, however this has affected several owners. If you search this forum you will find examples and one or two options to resolve the issue.

First time I've heard of a timing chain problem on any Lexus, what mileage is the car at?

Hybrid Battery packs can now be repaired so at least some good news, thinking about that I have all the PPE kit for LV repairs up to 1000 Volts could be my retirement plan.

Thanks for the reply. The car has only done 87k. Do you know of any repair specialists in the north west? As they all seem to be down south.
