1ZZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0335: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit
DTC P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit
DTC P0339 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent
DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor system consists of a CKP sensor plate and a pickup coil. The sensor plate has 34 teeth and it is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of an iron core and a magnet.
The sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes through the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals per engine revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine RPM. Using these calculations, the fuel injection time and ignition timing are controlled.
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
HINT:
- The correct waveform is shown on the left.
- G2+ stands for the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is no signal from the CKP sensor despite the engine revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- If no problem is found by this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical systems.
- Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked by using Techstream. To check, follow operation below:
1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn the tester on.
4. If using Techstream, select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine Speed.
5. The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine revolving normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed, if the CKP sensor voltage output is insufficient.
- Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)
(a) Disconnect the C4 Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector.
(b) Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
Standard resistance:
NOTE: Terms cold and hot refer to the temperature of the coils. Cold means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). Hot means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).
(c) Reconnect the CKP sensor connector.
NG -- REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the C4 CKP sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
(c) Check the resistance.
Standard resistance (Check for open):
Standard resistance (Check for short):
(d) Reconnect the ECM connector.
(e) Reconnect the CKP sensor connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (SENSOR INSTALLATION)
(a) Check the CKP sensor installation.
OK:
Sensor is installed correctly.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE (TEETH OF SENSOR PLATE)
(a) Check the teeth of the sensor plate.
OK:
Sensor plate does not have any cracks or deformation.
NG -- REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE
OK -- REPLACE ECM
