P0320 - Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit

P0320 - IGNITION/DISTRIBUTOR ENGINE SPEED INPUT CIRCUIT

Description:  This DTC sets when several erratic profile ignition pickup (PIP) pulses have occurred in the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal within a calibrated time period when the camshaft speed exceeds the equivalent speed of engine idle.
Possible Causes: 
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent open (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit intermittent open (VR type)
  • CKP circuit intermittent open (Hall effect)
  • VREF circuit intermittent open (Hall effect)
  • SIGRTN circuit intermittent open (Hall effect)
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent short to voltage (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit intermittent short to voltage (VR type)
  • CKP circuit intermittent short to voltage (Hall effect)
  • VREF circuit intermittent short to voltage (Hall effect)
  • SIGRTN circuit intermittent short to voltage (Hall effect)
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent short to ground (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit intermittent short to ground (VR type)
  • CKP circuit intermittent short to ground (Hall effect)
  • VREF circuit intermittent short to ground (Hall effect)
  • SIGRTN circuit intermittent short to ground (Hall effect)
  • CKP sensor incorrectly installed
  • Damaged CKP sensor
  • Incorrect, damaged or corroded connections
  • Arcing secondary ignition components (coil, wires and plugs)
  • Arcing relays or other high current devices (cooling fan or starter motor)
  • On board 2 way radio transceiver
  • Radio frequency interference or electromagnetic interference from an external source
  • Incorrectly grounded high power aftermarket equipment
