Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Variation Learn Procedure

  1. Procedure must be performed if any of the following have been done or exist:
    • EEPROM was reprogrammed.
    • If Diagnostic Trouble Code (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 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) after a learn procedure has been performed. If actual CKP sensor values are not within specification, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0300 will be stored in the PCM.
  3. Using scan tool, check for stored DTCs. See the appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. 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 the appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Ensure all DTCs are cleared from PCM. Go to next step.
    NOTE: Ensure engine coolant temperature is at least 158°F (70°C) before performing CKP sensor variation learn procedure.
  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 off.
  5. Using scan tool, select and enable CKP sensor variation learn procedure. Start engine. Apply service brakes. Ensure transaxle is in Park.
    CAUTION: Ensure throttle is quickly released to idle position once CKP sensor variation learn procedure fuel cut off is obtained.
  6. Accelerate engine until CKP sensor variation learn procedure fuel cut off is obtained at 5150 RPM. Quickly release throttle to idle position once CKP sensor variation learn procedure fuel cut off is obtained and engine starts to decelerate. Once CKP sensor variation values are learned, the PCM will return engine control to the operator and engine will respond to throttle position.
  7. If CKP sensor variation learn procedure was not terminated, go to next step. If CKP sensor variation learn procedure was terminated, this may be caused by PCM detecting a problem in cam signal causing DTC P0341, 3X crank signal causing DTC P1374 3X or 18X crank signal causing DTC P0336 18X. Using scan tool, check for stored DTCs. Perform test procedures for specified DTCs and repair as necessary. See the appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
  8. Check scan tool for status of DTC P1336. If scan tool indicates DTC P1336 ran and passed, CKP sensor variation learn procedure is complete. If scan tool indicates DTC P1336 failed or was not run, check for any other DTCs. See the appropriate TESTS W/CODES 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.
