P1336

Schematic:

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor sends pulses to the PCM as the reluctor wheel teeth rotate past the CKP sensor. The PCM uses the CKP pulses to synchronize the ignition and fuel injector operation, and to time the interval between each CKP pulse. The PCM determines when an excessive change in crankshaft speed occurs by comparing each new time interval with the previous interval. A misfire causes an unexpected change in the crankshaft speed. A certain amount of acceleration/deceleration is expected between each firing stroke, but if the crankshaft speed changes more than an expected amount, the PCM interprets this as a misfire. The interval between CKP sensor pulses is extremely small. At high engine speeds, slight variations in the following components make misfire detection difficult:
^ Crankshaft
^ Reluctor wheel
^ CKP sensor

The PCM learns variations during the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure. The PCM compensates for these variations when performing detect misfire calculations. Only a scan tool can command the PCM to perform the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure again.

Perform the learning procedure after the following actions:
^ A PCM replacement
^ Any operation or repair involving the crankshaft, the CKP sensor, or the CKP sensor to reluctor wheel gap relationship.
^ An engine replacement.
^ The ignition switch is in the ON position until the battery is drained.

IMPORTANT: A PCM power disconnect with the ignition ON may erase the stored pulse value and set the DTC P1336.

Disconnecting the PCM will not erase the learned Crankshaft Position System Variation as long as the ignition switch is in the OFF position.

IMPORTANT: Reprogramming the PCM does not require running the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure unless the PCM is new or from another vehicle.

A DTC P1336 sets if the Crankshaft Position System Variation is not within an acceptable range, or can not be learned.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
There are no Crankshaft Position (CKP) or Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor DTCs.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The PCM has not learned the Crankshaft Position System Variation.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The PCM stores this information in the Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) OFF after 3 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 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 contaminate intrusion into the PCM.
^ For any test that requires probing the PCM or a component harness connector, use the J 35616-A connector test adapter kit. Using this kit prevents damage to the harness/component terminals. Refer to Using Connector Test Adapters in Diagrams.
If the PCM receives an incorrect crankshaft to camshaft ratio the PCM will not allow the scan tool to enable the learn procedure.

If the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure cannot be learned, inspect for the following conditions:
^ A chipped or damaged reluctor wheel
^ Incorrect alignment of the CKP sensor to the reluctor wheel
^ Excessive crankshaft run-out
^ Interference in the signal circuit to the CKP sensor
^ Incorrect ratio of crankshaft to camshaft pulses Engine diagnostic misfire is not operable when the engine is above 1000 RPM and DTC P1336 is set.

When the learn procedure is in progress and the engine speed is at 4000 RPM, a decrease in engine speed will occur. During the engine coastdown, the PCM monitors the CKP sensor signal and stores the pattern. This pattern is used to determine if the crankshaft speed variations are due to misfire.

For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

TEST DESCRIPTION

Diagnostic Chart:

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. The PCM enables the learn process after 65°C (150°F) is reached. Engine deceleration occurs when the learn procedure is in progress. The PCM monitors and records the CKP sensor signal during engine coast-down conditions.
3. Test in Progress on the scan tool indicates the PCM is performing the learn procedure. If the PCM receives an incorrect crankshaft to camshaft pulse ratio, an incorrect transmission range signal input, corrupted communication, or no change in the brake switch input, the learn procedure will not be allowed.
4. If a repair is necessary due to a condition which prevented the learn procedure from enabling, the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning Procedure must be performed.
5. The ignition must be in the OFF position for at least 10 seconds after the learn procedure is complete and the engine RPM has returned to idle. The PCM saves the signal data after these conditions are met.
