Circuit Description
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft, and the AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 7X reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The CKP sensor connects directly to the powertrain control module (PCM) through the following circuits:
| • | The CKP sensor signal |
| • | The low reference |
If the PCM detects no signal from the CKP sensor, DTC P0335 sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The engine is cranking or running. |
| • | DTC P0355 runs continuously when the above condition is met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | The PCM detects an incorrect number of CKP pulses during engine cranking for 4 seconds. |
| • | The PCM detects an incorrect number of CKP pulses while the engine is running for 2 seconds. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
