| 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-Resistive 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.
| 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):
Tech Tips 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. |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P0339 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent | 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):
Tech Tips 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. |

Tech Tips
If DTC P0335 and/or P0339 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:
Difficulty starting
Misfire
Combustion noise
Black smoke
White smoke
Lack of power
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
The correct waveform is as shown.

| Condition | Idling with warm engine |
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.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Drive Pattern |
|---|---|
| P0335 | Crank or start engine |
| P0339 | Engine running at 1000 rpm or higher with vehicle stationary |

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:
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / 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
CHECK ENGINE CRANKING CONDITION
Check the engine cranking condition.

READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Primary / Engine Speed.
Start the engine.
Read the values displayed on the GTS while the engine is running.

| 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.

CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0335 AND/OR P0339)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Start the engine and run it at 1000 rpm or higher for 5 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
