| 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 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 through the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each engine revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine RPM. Using these calculations, the common rail system is controlled.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P0335 | When either condition below is met:
|
|
| P0339 | No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM is input for 0.05 seconds or more, and conditions 1, 2 and 3 are met (1 trip detection logic):

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
If no trouble is found in the diagnostic troubleshooting procedure of DTC P0335, troubleshoot the engine mechanical system.
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
Note
If the ECM is replaced, the new ECM needs initialization Click here.
PROCEDURE
INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)
Disconnect the C4 sensor connector.
Measure the resistance of the sensor.
| Standard resistance | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Note
In the chart above, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the temperature of the sensor. "Cold" means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). "Hot" means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).
Tech Tips
While cranking or idling the engine, check the waveform of the ECM connectors using an oscilloscope.
