- Go To 8

3. WIRE HARNESS INSPECTION
Turn the ignition off.
Visually inspect the related wire harness including the ground circuit. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Camshaft Position Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
Make sure the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Camshaft Position Sensor are properly installed and the mounting bolt(s) are torqued to the proper specification.
Refer to any TSBs that may apply.
Were any of the above conditions present?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

No

- Go To 4

4. (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED TO GROUND




Disconnect the CMP Sensor connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit in the CMP harness connector.
Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts?

Yes

- Go To 5

No

- Repair the open or short to ground in the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

5. TONE WHEEL/PULSE RING INSPECTION
Turn the ignition off.
Carefully disconnect the Battery Ground cable.
Remove the Camshaft Position Sensor.
Inspect the Tone Wheel/Pulse Ring for damage, foreign material, or excessive movement.
Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair or replace the Tone Wheel/Pulse Ring as necessary.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

No

- Go To 6

6. CHECKING CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL WITH A LAB SCOPE
NOTE: An intermittent condition in the Crank Position Sensor can cause the P0344 to set.

Install the CMP Sensor and connect the Battery cable.
With a lab scope probe and the Miller special tool #6801, backprobe the (K24) CKP Signal circuit in the CKP harness connector.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.

Ignition on, engine not running.
Wiggle the related wire harness and lightly tap on the Crank Position Sensor.
Observe the lab scope screen.
Start the engine.
Observe the lab scope screen.
Are there any irregular or missing signals?

Yes

- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Crankshaft Position Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

No

- Go To 7

7. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.

Repair

- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Camshaft Position Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If OK, replace the Camshaft Position Sensor.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

8. (K441) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE




Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the CMP Sensor connector.
Disconnect the C1 PCM harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the (K441) CMP Signal circuit.
Wiggle the related wire harness while taking this measurement.
Does the voltage ever increase above 0 volts?

Yes

- Repair the short to battery voltage in the (K441) CMP Signal circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

No

- Go To 9

9. (K441) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN




Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance in the (K441) CMP Signal circuit from the CMP harness connector to the C1 PCM harness connector.
Wiggle the related wire harness while taking this measurement.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 10

No

- Repair the excessive resistance in the (K441) CMP Signal circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

10. (K441) CMP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND




Measure the resistance between ground and the (K441) CMP Signal circuit in the CMP Sensor harness connector.
Wiggle the related wire harness while monitoring the resistance value.
Does the resistance ever go below 100 ohms?

Yes

- Repair the short to ground in the (K441) CMP Signal circuit.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test. PCM Verification Test.

No

- Go To 11
