| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0335 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit |
| P0339 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent |
DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor system consists of a CKP sensor plate and a pickup coil. The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of wound copper wire, an iron core and magnet.
The sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes by the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil 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 time and ignition timing are controlled.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0335 | Either condition is met:
|
|
| P0339 | Under conditions (a), (b) and (c), no CKP sensor signal is sent to the ECM for 0.05 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic): (a) The engine speed is 1000 rpm or more. (b) The starter signal is OFF. (c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since the starter signal switched from ON to OFF. |

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
Tech Tips
The correct waveform is as shown.
G2+ stands for the CMP sensor signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.
Grounding failure of the shielded wire may cause noise in the waveforms.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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. To check, follow the operation 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 crankshaft revolving normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed if the CKP 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine Speed.
Start the engine.
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 at zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.

INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)
| *1 | Component without harness connected (Crankshaft Position Sensor) |
Disconnect the B43 Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
