DTC P0335: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE SPEED) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE .
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / Engine Speed.
    6. Start the engine.
    7. 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 → See step   2 

    OK → See step   8 

  2. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE) 
    1. Inspect the crankshaft position sensor. Refer to INSPECTION .

    NG → See step   9 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D27-1 (NE) - D28-74 (NE+) Always Below 1 Ω
      D27-2 (NE-) - D28-120 (NE-) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D27-1 (NE) or D28-74 (NE+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D27-2 (NE-) or D28-120 (NE-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)

    1. Check the crankshaft position sensor installation.

      OK

      Sensor is installed correctly.

    NG → See step   10 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. INSPECT NO. 1 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE (TEETH OF SENSOR PLATE) 
    1. Check the teeth of the No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate. Refer to COMPONENTS .

      OK

      Sensor plate does not have any cracks or deformation.

    NG → See step   11 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 
    1. Replace the crankshaft position sensor. Refer to REMOVAL .

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
    5. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
    6. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE .
    7. Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern.
    8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
    9. Read the DTCs.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC is not output A
      DTC P0335 is output B

      HINT: 

      If the engine does not start, replace the ECM.

    B → See step   12 

    A → END 

  8. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. Refer to  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 
  9. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  10. SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR. Refer to  INSTALLATION 
  11. REPLACE NO. 1 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE. Refer to  DISASSEMBLY 
  12. REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL
