Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Variation Learn Procedure
- Procedure must be performed if any of the following have been done:
- EEPROM was reprogrammed.
- Crankshaft position sensor was removed or replaced.
- Vehicle Control Module (VCM) was replaced.
- Repair was performed that disturbs crankshaft/harmonic balancer to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
- Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Apply parking brake. Block rear wheels. Ensure hood is closed.
- Place transmission in Park (A/T models) or Neutral (M/T models). Start engine and warm engine until engine coolant temperature is at least 185°F (85°C). Ensure all accessories are off.
- Apply service brakes. With engine idling, use scan tool to select and enable CKP sensor variation learn procedure.
- Gradually accelerate engine to 4000 RPM. Quickly release throttle to idle position once CKP sensor variation learn procedure is obtained and engine starts to decelerate (cut-out). Once CKP sensor variation values are learned, the VCM will return engine control to the operator and engine will respond to throttle position.CAUTION: Ensure throttle is quickly released to idle position once CKP sensor variation learn procedure fuel cut off is obtained and engine starts to decelerate.
- If CKP sensor variation learn procedure was completed, turn ignition off for at least 15 seconds and remove scan tool. If CKP sensor variation learn procedure was not completed, a DTC P1336 should be stored in the VCM. Perform test procedures for DTC P1336: CKP SYSTEM VARIATION NOT LEARNED and repair as necessary.
