2AR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P0335,P0339: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit


DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crankshaft position sensor plate and a pickup coil.

The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of wound copper wire, an iron core and magnet. The sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes by the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals per crankshaft revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine speed. Using these calculations, the fuel injection time and ignition timing are controlled.





- Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.





HINT
* The correct waveform is as shown.
* G2 stands for the camshaft position sensor signal, NE stands for the crankshaft position sensor signal and EV1 stands for the camshaft position sensor (for exhaust side) signal.
* Grounding failure of the shielded wire may cause noise in waveforms.





MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE





CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on [A].

6. Start the engine.

7. Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [B].

8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

9. Input the DTC: P0335 or P0339.

10. Check the DTC judgment result [C].





HINT
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps [B] and [C] again.

11. If the test result is UNKNOWN, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes / Pending.

12. Read Pending DTCs.

HINT
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

13. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
* If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
* After performing the inspection procedure for the crankshaft position sensor, if DTC P0335 is output again, check the following items related to the camshaft position sensor.
* Installation condition of the camshaft position sensor
* Installation condition of the camshaft
* Connection of the camshaft position sensor connector
* If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, there may be a mechanical problem with the engine.
* Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked by using the Techstream. To check, follow the procedure below:
(1) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Turn the Techstream on.
(4) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Speed.
* The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the crankshaft revolving normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as less than the actual engine speed if the crankshaft position sensor output voltage is insufficient.
* Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. 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.

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE SPEED)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Engine Speed.

(e) Start the engine.

(f) Read the values displayed on the Techstream while the engine is running.

OK:

Correct values are displayed.

HINT
* To check the engine speed change, display the graph on the Techstream.
* If the engine does not start, check the engine speed while cranking.
* If the engine speed indicated on the Techstream remains at zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.

NG -- INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)

OK -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS Check for Intermittent Problems

2. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)

(a) Inspect the crankshaft position sensor Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

NG -- REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

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

(a) Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.

(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance (Check for Open):





Standard Resistance (Check for Short):





(d) Reconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.

(e) Reconnect the ECM connector.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)





(a) Check the crankshaft position sensor installation.

OK:

Sensor is installed correctly.

NG -- SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR Installation
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE (TEETH OF SENSOR PLATE)

(a) Check the teeth of the crankshaft position sensor plate.

OK:

Crankshaft position sensor plate does not have any cracks or deformation.

NG -- REPLACE CRANKSHAFT Disassembly
OK -- Continue to next step.

6. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

(a) Replace the crankshaft position sensor Removal.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.
