SFI SYSTEM(w/o EGR System), Diagnostic DTC:P0335

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

DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate (crankshaft) and a pickup coil. 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. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine speed. Using these calculations, the fuel injection and ignition timing are controlled.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

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


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

  • Missing crankshaft position sensor signal despite camshaft sensor signal inputs normal after engine cranked.


  • Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit

  • Crankshaft position sensor

  • Crankshaft (crank angle sensor plate)

  • ECM

Comes on DTC stored

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

MONITOR STRATEGY

Tech Tips


  • After performing the inspection procedure for the crankshaft position sensor, if DTC P0335 is output again, check the following items related to the camshaft position sensor.


    • Installation condition of the camshaft position sensor.

    • Installation condition of the camshaft.

    • Connection of the camshaft position sensor connector.

  • 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:


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

      Click here

    5. Start the engine.

    6. 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. 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


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

    6. Start the engine.

    7. 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 zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.
