| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0335 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit |
| P0339 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent |
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor consists of a crankshaft angle sensor rotor and Magnetic Resistance Element (MRE) type sensor. The crankshaft angle sensor rotor 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 crankshaft position sensor output 34 rotation signals per engine speed. The ECM uses the G2 signal to distinguish between the cylinders, and uses the NE signal to detect the crankshaft position and engine speed.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0335 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit | Either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic):
|
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P0339 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent | Under conditions (a), (b) and (c), no crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM for 0.05 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic): (a) Engine speed 1000 rpm or higher. (b) Starter signal off. (c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since starter signal switched from on to off. |

| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Condition | Idling with warm engine |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
A DTC will be stored if any of the following occurs:
The crankshaft position sensor signal (NE signal) is not received by the ECM when the engine is being cranked.
The engine stalls and the engine speed signal value decreases rapidly (under normal conditions the engine speed will decrease gradually).
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Required Sensors/Components (Main) | Crankshaft position sensor |
| Required Sensors/Components (Related) | Camshaft position sensor |
| Frequency of Operation | Continuous |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0335 or P0339.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical system.
The engine speed can be checked by using the GTS. To perform the check, follow the procedures below:
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Engine Speed.
The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine running normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed if the crankshaft position sensor output voltage is insufficient.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
