DTC P0335: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit; DTC P0339: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent [09/2014 - 11/2017]: Description

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate (crankshaft) and a pickup coil. The crank angle sensor plate has 34 teeth at 10° intervals (2 teeth are missing for detecting top dead center), and is installed on the crankshaft.

The crankshaft position sensor 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 and ignition timing are controlled.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit One of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic):
  • No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM while cranking.
  • No crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM while engine running.
  • Missing crankshaft position sensor signal despite VVT sensor signal inputs normal after engine cranked.
  • Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit
  • Crankshaft position sensor
  • Crankshaft (crank angle sensor plate)
  • ECM
Comes on DTC stored
P0339 Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent Under conditions (a), (b) and (c), no crankshaft position sensor signal to ECM for 0.05 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic):
(a) Engine speed 1000 rpm or higher.
(b) Starter signal off.
(c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since starter signal switched from on to off.
  • Open or short in crankshaft position sensor circuit
  • Crankshaft position sensor
  • Crankshaft (crank angle sensor plate)
  • ECM
Does not come on DTC stored

    HINT: 

    • The correct waveform is as shown in illustration.
    • VV1+ and VV2+ stand for the VVT sensor (for intake camshaft) signal, and NE+ stands for the crankshaft position sensor signal.
    • Grounding failure of the shielded wire may cause a noisy waveform.
