DTC P0315

The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn feature is used to calculate reference period errors caused by slight build tolerance variations in the crankshaft position sensor, crankshaft, and crankshaft position sensor position. The calculated error allows the engine control module (ECM) to accurately compensate for reference period variations. This enhances the ability of the ECM to detect misfire events over a wide range of engine speeds and load conditions. The ECM stores the crankshaft position system variation values after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position variation is not stored within the crankshaft position sensor compensating value look up table, then DTC P0300 00 may set. If the crankshaft position sensor system variation values are not stored in the ECM memory, or a proper ECM power down does not occur after completing the crankshaft position sensor Learn Procedure, then DTC P0315 00 sets.

The crankshaft position sensor system variation values are not stored in the ECM memory.

DTC P0315 00 is a Type A code.

DTC P0315 00 is a Type A code.

This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test .

Note: The crankshaft position sensor system variation learn procedure may have to be repeated up to 5 times before the procedure is learned.

1. Perform the crankshaft position variation learn procedure.
2. If the crankshaft position variation learn procedure cannot be performed successfully, inspect for the following conditions:

•	Any worn crankshaft main bearings

•	A damaged or misaligned reluctor wheel

•	The crankshaft runout is more than the customer may desire

•	A damaged crankshaft. Refer to Crankshaft and Bearing Cleaning and Inspection : LDE, LED, LFJ, LXV, 2H0, LUW, LFH

•	Interference in the signal circuit of the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor

•	The ignition switch is left in the ON position, until the battery is discharged

•	An ECM power disconnect, with the ignition ON, that may have erased the crankshaft position sensor system variation values and set DTC P0315 00

•	Any debris between the crankshaft position sensor and the reluctor wheel

⇒	If the ECM is still unable to complete the learn procedure, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM).

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
