DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit
DTC 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 windings, 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 32 signals for each engine revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine RPM. Using these calculations, the fuel injection time and ignition timing are controlled.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
| P0335 |

|
| P0339 | No CKP sensor signal to ECM is input for 0.05 seconds or more, and conditions (a), (b) and (c) are met: (a) 1,000 rpm or more (b) Starter is OFF (c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed after STA signal is switched from ON or OFF |

Reference: Inspect using an oscilloscope.
The correct waveform is as shown.Tester Connection Specified Condition VV1+ (E6-25) - VV1- (E6-24) Correct waveform is as shown VV2+ (E6-18) - VV2- (E6-28) G2+ (E6-19) - G2- (E6-29) NE+ (E6-21) - NE- (E67-20)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is no signal from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor even though the engine is revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.MONITOR STRATEGY

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- If no problem is found by 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 with CAN VIM.
- Start the engine.
- Turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / ENGINE SPD.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 with CAN VIM.
- The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine 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. 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.
1.INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

Disconnect the C4 Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector.
Measure the resistance of the sensor.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition 1 - 2 Cold 1,630 to 2,740 Ω 1 - 2 Hot 2,065 to 3,225 Ω
- HINT:
- In the above section, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the temperature of the coils.
- "Cold" means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F).
- "Hot" means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).
Reconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)

Disconnect the C4 crankshaft position sensor connector.
Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance between the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition Crankshaft position sensor (C1-1) - NE+ (E6-21) Below 1 Ω Crankshaft position sensor (C4-2) - NE- (E6-20) Crankshaft position sensor (C1-1) or NE+ (E6-21) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher Crankshaft position sensor (C4-2) or NE- (E6-20) - Body ground
Reconnect the CKP sensor connector.
Reconnect the ECM connector.
