2UR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0335,P0337,P0338: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit
P0338 - Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate and Magnetic Resistance Element (MRE) type sensor. The crank angle sensor plate has 34 teeth at 10° intervals (2 teeth are missing for detecting top dead center), and is installed to the rear end of the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor outputs 34 rotation signals per engine revolution. The ECM uses the G2 signal to distinguish between the cylinders, and uses the NE signal to detect the crankshaft position and engine rpm.





- Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.





HINT
G2+ stands for the camshaft position sensor signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.

Standard





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If there is no signal from the crankshaft position sensor despite the crankshaft revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

When the sensor output voltage remains less than 0.3 V, or more than 4.7 V for more than 4 seconds, the ECM sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- The engine speed can be checked by using the Techstream. To check, follow the procedures below:
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Put the engine in inspection mode Inspection Mode Procedure.
(3) Turn the Techstream ON.
(4) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Engine Speed.
* The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the crankshaft 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 output voltage is insufficient.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (SENSOR POWER SOURCE)





(a) Disconnect the E54 crankshaft position sensor connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
