Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (P0335,P0339)

DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a crank angle sensor plate and a pickup coil.

The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of wound copper wire, an iron core and magnet. The sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes by the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil 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 time and ignition timing are controlled.

P0339	All of the following conditions are met (1 trip detection logic): (a) The engine speed is 1000 rpm or more. (b) No crankshaft position sensor signal for 0.05 seconds or more. (c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since the starter signal switched from ON to OFF.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If there is no signal from the crankshaft position sensor despite the crankshaft revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

1. 1
   Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. 2
   Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
3. 3
   Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) (See page ).
4. 4
   Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
5. 5
   Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
6. 6
   Start the engine.
7. 7
   Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [A].
8. 8
   Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [B].
9. 9
   Read the Pending DTCs.

   HINT:

   • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
   • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
10. 10
    Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
11. 11
    Input the DTC: P0335 or P0339.
12. 12
    Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream Display	Description
    NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
    ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A	Unable to perform DTC judgment Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.
13. 13
    If no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (See page ).
    

    HINT:

    • If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

• After performing the inspection procedure for the crankshaft position sensor, if DTC P0335 is output again, check the following items related to the camshaft position sensor.
  • Installation condition of the camshaft position sensor
  • Installation condition of the camshaft
  • Connection of the camshaft position sensor connector
• If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, there may be a mechanical problem with the engine.
• Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked by using the Techstream. To check, follow the procedure below:
  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Speed.
  • The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the crankshaft revolving normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as less than the actual engine speed if the crankshaft position sensor output voltage is insufficient.
• Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE SPEED)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Speed.

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.
