ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0335, P0339

DTC Code DTC Name
P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit
P0339 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent

DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate and Magneto 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 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.

P0335
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
Crank or start engine

Either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic):


  • No crankshaft position sensor signal to the ECM while cranking.

  • No crankshaft position sensor signal to the ECM while engine running.


  • Crankshaft position sensor

  • Crankshaft (crank angle sensor plate)

  • ECM

P0339
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
Engine running at 1000 rpm or more with vehicle stationary

Under conditions (a), (b) and (c), no crankshaft position sensor signal is sent to the ECM for 0.05 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic):


  • (a) Engine speed is 1000 rpm or more.

  • (b) Starter signal is off.

  • (c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since the starter signal switched from on to off.


  • Crankshaft position sensor

  • Crankshaft (crank angle sensor plate)

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.

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (See page ) and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips


  • 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:


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / 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. Freeze frame data records the engine condition 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ENGINE


    1. Check the engine cranking condition.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Cranking is OK. A
      Does not crank at all.* B

      Tech Tips

      *: When the engine cannot crank, there may be a malfunction in the starter assembly.

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / Engine Speed.

    5. Start the engine.

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

      Standard
      Correct values are displayed.

      Tech Tips


      • 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.

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0335 AND/OR P0339)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    5. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

    6. Start the engine and run it at 1000 rpm or higher for 5 seconds or more.

    7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    8. Read the DTCs.

      Result:
      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC P0335 and/or P0339 is output B

  4. INSPECT ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)


    1. Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.


      1. While the engine is idling, check the waveform between the terminals of the ECM connector.
