| P0335 | Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a No. 1 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 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. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0335 | Either of following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic):
|
|
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
| Standard | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Tech Tips
A failure of the ground for the shielding of the wiring may result in noisy waveforms.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is no signal from the crankshaft position sensor despite the engine rotating, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) Click here.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [B].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0335.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| Tester Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
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 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 (maintenance mode) Click here.
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / 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 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
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPEED)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) Click here.
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Engine Speed.
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.
