P0335

Circuit Description
The Crankshaft Position Sensor CKP is mounted in the right rear of the engine block above the starter. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 24X reluctor wheel mounted on the rear of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor has a B+ power supply, a ground, and a signal circuit.
As the crankshaft rotates, the reluctor wheel teeth interrupt a magnetic field produced by a magnet within the sensor. The sensor's internal circuitry detects this and produces a signal which the PCM reads. The PCM uses this signal to accurately measure crankshaft velocity which is a variable used in order to detect misfire. The PCM also uses the signal to control spark and fueling.

Conditions for Running the DTC
^ DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0341, P0342, P0343 are not set.
^ The CMP sensor is transitioning.
^ The MAF is greater than 3 g/s.
^ The ignition switch in the crank mode.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM determines no signal from the CKP sensor for less than 3 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns the MIL OFF after three consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A History DTC clears after forty consecutive warm-up cycles, if this or any other emission related diagnostic does not report any failures.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL/DTC.

Diagnostic Aids

Important: Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing/replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent water intrusion into the PCM.

The following problems may cause this DTC to set:
^ Poor connections/terminal tension at the sensor
^ Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper installation
^ The sensor coming in contact with the reluctor wheel
^ The engine running out of fuel.
Using Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information
included in the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data can aid in determining how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also aid determining how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same freeze frame conditions (RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature etc.) that you observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed. For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

Excess crankshaft end play will cause the CKP sensor reluctor wheel to move out of alignment with the CKP sensor. This could result in any one of the following:
^ A no start A start and stall
^ Erratic performance For an intermittent, refer to Symptoms.

Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3. This step determines if the fault is present.
6. This step simulates a CKP sensor signal to the PCM. If the PCM receives the signal, the fuel pump will operate for about two seconds. If the fuel pump operates, the condition is either terminal contact at the CKP sensor, the CKP sensor or, the CKP sensor reluctor wheel.
7. This test determines if the CKP sensor signal circuit or if the PCM is faulty.
11. The CKP System Variation Learn Procedure must be performed anytime the relationship between the CKP sensor and the CKP reluctor wheel is changed.
12. To inspect the reluctor wheel, remove the starter and rotate the crankshaft while viewing the reluctor wheel through the CKP sensor hole. If you cannot determine if the reluctor wheel is damaged, the oil pan may have to be removed.
14. The CKP System Variation Learn Procedure must be performed anytime the relationship between the CKP sensor and the CKP reluctor wheel is changed.
15. Before replacing the PCM, inspect the PCM harness connections. Refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis.
16. The repair is not complete if the scan tool indicates that the diagnostic ran and failed.
