DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit
DTC P0337 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Low Input
DTC P0338 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit High Input
DTC P0339 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent

DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate and Magnetic Resistance Element (MRE) type sensor. The crank angle sensor plate has 34 teeth at 10 ° intervals (2 teeth are missing for detecting top dead center), and is installed to the rear end of the crankshaft. The crank position sensor outputs 34 rotation signals per engine revolution. The ECM uses the G2 signal to distinguish between the cylinders, and uses the NE signal to detect the crankshaft position and engine rpm.

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.

HINT: G2 stands for the camshaft position sensor signal, and NE stands for the crankshaft position sensor signal.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

Component Operating Range:

If there is no signal from the crankshaft position sensor despite the engine revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

When the sensor output voltage remains at less than 0.3 V, or more than 4.7 V for more than 4 seconds, the ECM sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
- If no problem is found by this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, check for problems by referring to the engine mechanical section.
- The engine speed can be checked by using the intelligent tester or Techstream. To check, follow the procedures:
a. Connect the intelligent tester or Techstream to the DLC3.
b. Start the engine.
c. Turn the tester ON.

d. Enter the following menus:
1. Intelligent tester - Select: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / ENGINE SPD.
2. Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Engine Speed.
The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine revolving normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed, if the CKP sensor output voltage is insufficient.

- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester or Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
