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 an iron core and a 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 per 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 Conditions | Trouble Areas |
| P0335 |
|
|
| P0339 | Under conditions (a), (b) and (c), no CKP sensor signal to ECM for 0.05 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic): (a) Engine speed 1,000 rpm or more (b) Starter signal OFF (c) 3 seconds or more has lapsed since starter signal switched from ON to OFF |
|

- HINT:
- The correct waveform is shown on the illustration.
- VV1+ and VV2+ stands for the VVT sensor signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.
Items Contents Terminals VV1+ - VV1-
VV2+ - VV2-
NE+ - NE-Equipment Settings 5 V/Division, 20 ms/Division Conditions Cranking or idling
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is no signal from the CKP sensor despite the engine revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- If no problem is found by this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical systems.
- 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.
- Start the engine.
- Turn the tester on.
- Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / ENGINE SPD.
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 voltage output is insufficient.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- 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 (RESISTANCE)

Disconnect the C4 Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector.
Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connections Specified Conditions 1 - 2 1,630 Ω to 2,740 Ω at cold 1 - 2 2,065 Ω to 3,225 Ω at hot
- HINT:
- 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 CKP sensor connector.
| REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR | |||
| OK | |

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

Disconnect the C4 CKP sensor connector.
Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance.
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions NE+ (C4-1) - NE+ (E6-21) Below 1 Ω NE- (C4-2) - NE- (E6-20) Below 1 Ω
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions NE+ (C4-1) or NE+ (E6-21) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher NE- (C4-2) or NE- (E6-20) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
Reconnect the ECM connector.
Reconnect the CKP sensor connector.
