| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P033511 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground |
| P033515 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open |
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crankshaft position sensor plate and Magneto-Resistive Element (MRE) type sensor. The crankshaft position sensor plate has 34 teeth at 10° intervals (2 teeth are missing for detecting top dead center), and is installed on the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor generates 34 signals per crankshaft revolution. The ECM uses the NE signal to detect the crankshaft position and engine speed.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P033511 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground | The crankshaft position sensor output voltage is less than 0.3 V for 4 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored | SAE: P0337 |
| P033515 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open | The crankshaft position sensor output voltage is higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored | SAE: P0338 |
| *a | 2 V/DIV. |
| *b | 20 ms./DIV. |
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
The correct waveform is as shown.
| ECM Terminal Name | Between NE+ and NE- |
| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Condition | Idling with warm engine |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the output voltage transmitted by the crankshaft position sensor remains low or high, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Required Sensors/Components (Main) | Crankshaft position sensor |
| Required Sensors/Components (Related) | VVT sensor |
| Frequency of Operation | Continuous |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).
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.
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: P033511 or P033515.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
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, perform steps [A] and [B] again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
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 GTS. To perform the check, follow the procedures below:
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / 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.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).

Start the engine.
Read the values displayed on the GTS while the engine is running.

| Correct values are displayed. |
To check the engine speed change, display the graph on the GTS.
If the engine does not start, check the engine speed while cranking.
If the engine speed indicated on the GTS remains at zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.
