P0315
DTC P0315 SEGMENT TIME ACQUISITION INCORRECTGENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) is a magnetic field sensitive type sensor that generates voltage using a sensor and a target wheel mounted on the crankshaft; there are 58 slots in the target wheel where one is longer than the others.During one crankshaft rotation there are 58 rectangular signals and one longer signal. The PCM calculates engine RPM by using the sensor's signal and controls the injection duration and the ignition timing. Using the signal differences caused by the longer slot, the PCM identifies which cylinder is at top dead center.
DTC DESCRIPTION
Checking tooth error correction under detecting condition, if the TEC(Tooth Error Correction) is out of Threshold value, PCM sets P0315.
DTC Detecting Condition:
MONITOR DTC STATUS
1. Check DTC Status

4. Read "DTC Status" parameter.
5. Is parameter displayed "Present fault"?
YES - Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO - Fault is intermittent caused by PCM memory was not cleared after repair. Erase DTC and drive the vehicle to satisfy the enable condition then, go to " Component Inspection" procedure.
COMPONENT INSPECTION
1. Visually check CKPS and target wheel
1. IG "OFF"
2. Visually check CKPS is loosened or target wheel is deformed or damaged.
3. Are normal conditions present?
YES - Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO - Repair or replace as necessary and then go to"Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
