DTC P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crankshaft position sensor plate and a magnetic 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 34 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.

Reference:
VVT sensors and crankshaft position sensor waveforms Using an oscilloscope, confirm the VVT sensor condition at the engine idling.Correct waveform is as shown in the illustration.

a. VVT sensor (Bank 1)
b. VVT sensor (Bank 2)
c. Crankshaft position sensor

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Monitor Strategy:

Typical Enabling Conditions:

Typical Malfunction Thresholds:

Component Operating Range:

If there is no signal from the crankshaft position sensor even though the engine is revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

Step 3 - 4:

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the hand-held 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, if the air-fuel ratio was LEAN or RICH, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- The engine speed can be confirmed in DATA LIST using the hand-held tester. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS/ ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / ENGINE SPD. If no NE signals are sent from the crankshaft position sensor even though the engine is revolving, the engine speed will be indicated as zero. If the output voltage of the crankshaft position sensor is insufficient, the engine speed will be indicated as lower than actual RPM.
