Crankshaft Position Sensor

  1. Procedure must be performed if any of the following have been done or exist:
    • EEPROM was reprogrammed.
    • If DTC P1336 exists.
    • If crankshaft, crankshaft position sensor, engine, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or vibration damper have been replaced.
  2. CKP sensor variation compensating values are stored in PCM after a learn procedure has been performed. If actual CKP sensor values are not within specification, DTC P0300 will be stored in PCM.
  3. Using scan tool, check for stored DTCs. If no DTCs exist, or if DTC P1336 exists, go to next step. If any DTCs exist except for P1336, perform test procedures for specified DTC and repair as necessary. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . Ensure all DTCs are cleared from PCM. Go to next step.
  4. Ensure ignition is off. Apply parking brake. Block front wheels. Ensure hood is closed. Start engine and warm engine until engine coolant temperature is at least 158°F (70°C). Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
    NOTE: Ensure engine coolant temperature is at least 158°F (70°C) before performing CKP sensor variation learn procedure.
  5. Using scan tool, select and enable CKP sensor variation learn procedure. Start engine. Apply service brakes. Ensure transaxle is in Park.
  6. Increase accelerator pedal position until CKP system variation learn fuel cut-off is reached. CKP system variation learn fuel cut-off is reached at 5150 RPM. Do not release accelerator pedal until second fuel cut-off is reached. Crankshaft position system variation compensating values are learned when RPM decreases back to idle.
  7. Check scan tool for status of DTC P1336. If scan tool indicates DTC P1336 ran and passed, CKP sensor variation learn procedure fuel cut-off is complete. If scan tool indicates DTC P1336 failed or was not run, check for any other DTCs. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If any other DTCs exist, perform test procedures for specified DTC and repair as necessary. If no other DTCs exist, repeat CKP sensor variation learn procedure.
