DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crankshaft angle sensor plate (crankshaft) and Magneto Resistive Element (MRE) type sensor. The crankshaft angle 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 VV1 signal to distinguish between the cylinders, and uses the NE signal to detect the crankshaft position and engine speed.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0335	w/o Stop and Start System: Either condition is met: No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM while cranking (1 trip detection logic). No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM while engine running (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit Crankshaft position sensor Crankshaft angle sensor plate (crankshaft) ECM
P0335	w/ Stop and Start System: No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM while cranking (1 trip detection logic)*1.
P0337	w/o Stop and Start System: Output voltage of crankshaft position sensor is less than 0.3 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit Crankshaft position sensor ECM
P0337	w/ Stop and Start System: Output voltage of crankshaft position sensor is less than 0.3 V for 0.43 seconds (1 trip detection logic).
P0338	w/o Stop and Start System: Output voltage of crankshaft position sensor is higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds (1 trip detection logic).	Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit Crankshaft position sensor ECM
P0338	w/ Stop and Start System: Output voltage of crankshaft position sensor is higher than 4.7 V for 0.43 seconds (1 trip detection logic).
P0339*1	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 more (b) Starter signal OFF (c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since starter signal switched from ON to OFF	Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit Crankshaft position sensor Crankshaft angle sensor plate (crankshaft) ECM

*1: When the engine is stopped and started automatically due to Stop and Start system control, the crankshaft position sensor does not monitor during the automatic cranking.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

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

MONITOR STRATEGY

Required Sensors/Components (Main)	Crankshaft position sensor
Required Sensors/Components (Related)	Camshaft position sensor
Frequency of Operation	Continuous

COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE

Crankshaft position sensor

Crankshaft position sensor output voltage fluctuates while crankshaft revolving
34 crankshaft position sensor signals per crankshaft revolution

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation)
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read 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 and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0335, P0337, P0338 or P0339.

Check the DTC judgment result.

Tester Display	Description
NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

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 the Confirmation Driving Pattern and the DTC judgment result again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical system.
Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked by using the intelligent tester. Follow the procedure below:

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / 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 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 intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. 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 INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED)
1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn the tester on.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine Speed.
5. Start the engine.
6. Read the values displayed on the tester while the engine is running.
  
  OK
  
  Correct values are displayed.
  Tech Tips
  - To check the engine speed change, display the graph on the tester.
  - If the engine does not start, check the engine speed while cranking.
  - If the engine speed indicated on the tester remains zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.
