DTC P0336: Crankshaft Posit ion (CKP) Sensor Performance

Wiring Diagram:

Circuit Description
The reference signal is produced by the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the reference signal to calculate engine RPM and CKP. The ECM constantly monitors the number of pulses on the reference circuit and compares them to the number of Crankshaft Position (CKP) signal pulses being received. If the ECM receives an incorrect number of pulses on the reference circuit, DTC P0336 will set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
- Engine is running.
- Detected number of teeth is differs by 2 or more.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
- The ECM will record operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fail. This information will be stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records buffers.
- A history DTC is stored.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
- The MIL will turn OFF at the end of 3 consecutive validation cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
- A history DTC will clear after 40 warm up cycles without a fault.
- DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the insulation. Check for: Poor connection - inspect the ECM harness and connectors for improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection. Damaged harness - inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, disconnect the ECM, turn the ignition ON and observe a voltmeter connected to the reference circuit at the ECM harness connector while moving the connectors and the wiring harness related to the ECM. A change in voltage will indicate the location of the fault. Review the failure records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
