General 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. When the slot in the wheel aligns with the sensor, the sensor voltage outputs low. When the metal (tooth) in the wheel aligns with the sensor, the sensor voltage outputs high. During one crankshaft rotation there are 58 rectangular signals and one longer signal. The PCM calculates engine RPM by using the sensor 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 output signals from CKPS every 7.8 sec. under detecting condition, if an output signal is missing or redundant for more than 1.56 sec, PCM sets P0336. MIL (Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till consecutive 2 driving cycle.
DTC Detecting Condition:
Specification:
Resistance: 700 ± 70 ohms
Schematic Diagram:
Signal Waveform:
Monitor Scantool Data
1. IG "OFF" & connect scantool.
2. ENG "ON" and warm-up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Monitor engine speed item on the service data.
Specification: 620 ± 100 rpm (D-range)
Specification: 720 ± 100 rpm (N-range)
4. Is the service data displayed correctly?
YES - Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM's connector or was repaired and PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, ending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO - Go to "Terminal and Connector Inspection" procedure
Terminal and Connector Inspection
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?
YES - Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO - Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection" procedure.
Signal Circuit Inspection
1. Check voltage
1. IG "OFF" and disconnect CKPS connector.
2. IG "ON" and ENG "OFF"
3. Measure voltage between terminal 1 of CKPS harness connector and chassis ground.
4. Measure voltage between terminal 2 of CKPS harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification: Approx. 1.4 V
5. Is the measured voltage within specification?
YES - Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO - Go to "Check short in harness" as follows.
2. Check short in harness
1. IG "OFF" and disconnect CKPS connector and PCM connector.
2. Measure resistance between terminal 1(2) of CKPS harness connector and chassis ground.
3. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of CKPS harness connector.
Specification: Infinite
4. Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES - Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO - Repair short in harness, and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Component Inspection
1. Visually check CKPS and Target wheel
1. IG "OFF"
2. Check CKPS and target wheel for deformation or damage visually
3. Is the above items normal?
YES - Go to "Check CKPS resistance" as follows.
NO - Repair or replace it, and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
2. Check CKPS resistance
1. IG "OFF" and disconnect CKPS connector.
2. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of CKPS connector. (Component side)
Specification:
3. Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES - Go to "Check signal waveform of CKPS" as follows.
NO - Substitute with a known - good CKPS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace CKPS and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
3. Check signal waveform of CKPS
1. IG "OFF" and connect scantool.
2. ENG "ON" and Measure signal waveform at terminal 1 or 2 of CKPS.
Reference signal waveform:
3. Is the measured signal waveform normal?
YES - Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary, and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO - 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.
CAUTION: There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM. After testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others
Verification of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Monitor and record the Freeze Frame Data for the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) which has been diagnosed.
2. Using a Scantool, Clear the DTCs
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions
4. Monitor that all readiness test have been verified as "Complete"
5. Are any DTCs present?
YES - Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
NO - System is performing to specification at this time.
