| 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 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 a pulse signal is created as each tooth passes by the pickup coil. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine speed. Using these calculations, the common rail injection system is controlled.

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
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.
