Diagnostic Fault Information






Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

The hall effect crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal indicates the crankshaft speed and position. There are 57 teeth on the front of the crankshaft sprocket, plus a sync gap. The CKP sensor will output an ON/OFF pulse as each window passes the sensing element. The CKP sensor is connected directly to the engine control module (ECM) by the following circuits:

* The 5-volt reference circuit
* The low reference circuit
* The signal circuit

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0335
* The engine is cranking or running.
* The camshaft position (CMP) sensor signal is present.
* DTC P0335 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
* DTCs P0652 or P0653 are not set.

P0336
* The engine is cranking or running.
* DTC P0336 runs continuously when the above condition is met.
* DTCs P0652 or P0653 are not set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0335

The ECM determines no signal from the CKP sensor for less than 8 seconds.

P0336

The ECM determines that the CKP sensor signal is out of range for less than 2 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0335 and P0336 are Type A DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTCs P0335 and P0336 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

* If DTCs P0642 or P0643 are set, diagnose those DTCs first.
* The engine starts and runs.
* Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0335 or P0336 should not set.
* Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

P0335
1. Disconnect the CKP sensor.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between low reference circuit terminal 2 on the ECM side of the connector and ground.

• If greater than the specified value, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 3 on the ECM side of the connector and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
• If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the signal circuit terminal 2 on the ECM side of the connector and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the affected signal circuit for an open/high resistance or short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
• If greater than the specified range, test the affected signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. Ignition OFF, connect a fused jumper wire connected to the CKP signal circuit terminal 2 on the ECM side of the connector.
6. Ignition ON, momentarily touch the end of the fused jumper wire to ground. The crank signal present and the engine RPM parameters on the scan tool should charge.

• If the crank signal present and the engine RPM does not change, replace the ECM.

7. Ignition OFF, inspect the wiring harness for any damage, opens, or shorts.

• If the circuits test normal replace the CKP sensor.

P0336
1. Ensure that the CKP sensor circuits are not routed too closely to the fuel injector wiring after-market add-on electrical equipment, solenoids, relays or motors.
2. Ignition OFF, inspect the CKP sensor for correct installation.

• If the sensor is loose, inspect the sensor and the O-ring for damage, replace as necessary.

3. Inspect the engine for the following conditions:

* The engine oil for debris
* The crankshaft reluctor wheel for damage or foreign material passing between the sensor and reluctor wheel
* The timing chain, tensioner, and sprockets for wear or damage

4. If no other condition is found, replace the CKP sensor.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

* Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement
* Control Module References for ECM replacement, setup, and programming Programming and Relearning
* Crankshaft Reluctor and Oil Pump Drive Gear Replacement Verification Tests
