P0335


Schematic:






CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position Sensor CKP is mounted in the right rear of the engine block behind 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, and 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 more 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 8 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) 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
^ A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A History DTC clears after 40 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 contaminant intrusion into the PCM.
^ For any test that requires probing the PCM or component harness connectors, use the J35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents any damage to the harness connector terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Diagrams.

The following conditions may cause this DTC to set:
^ Poor connections/terminal tension at the sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagrams.
^ Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper installation.
^ The sensor coming in contact with the reluctor wheel.
^ The engine running out of fuel.

Excess crankshaft end play causes 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. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1 - 5:





Steps 6 - 10:





Steps 11 - 17:





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.
16. The repair is not complete if the scan tool indicates that the diagnostic ran and failed.
