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

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

DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crankshaft position 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 engine 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.

When either of following conditions are met:

(1 trip detection logic)

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

No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM

Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit
Crankshaft position sensor

Tech Tips

The correct waveform is as shown.
G2+ is camshaft position sensor signals, and NE+ is the crankshaft position sensor signal.
A failure of the ground for the shielding of the wiring may result in noisy waveforms.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical systems.
Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked using the intelligent tester. To check, follow the operation below:

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Put the engine in inspection mode Click here.
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine Speed.

The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine rotating 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. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE

READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED)
1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
3. Turn the tester on.
4. Put the engine in inspection mode Click here.
5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Engine Speed.
6. Start the engine.
7. 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 intelligent 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.

*1	Component without harness connected (Crankshaft Position Sensor)

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 (NE) - 2 (NE-)	Cold	1630 to 2740 Ω
1 (NE) - 2 (NE-)	Hot	2065 to 3225 Ω

Tech Tips

"Cold" and "Hot" mean the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F) and "Hot" is from 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.

Reconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
