DTC P0335 or P0336

The crankshaft position sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and an output signal circuit. The crankshaft position sensor is an externally magnetically biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor provides a pulse for each magnetic pole of the magnetic encoder wheel on the crankshaft. Each pole on the encoder wheel is spaced at 60-pole spacing, with 2 missing poles for the reference gap. The crankshaft position sensor produces an ON/OFF DC voltage of varying frequency, with 58 output pulses per crankshaft revolution. The frequency of the crankshaft position sensor output depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor sends a digital signal, which represents an image of the crankshaft encoder wheel, to the ECM as each pole on the wheel rotates past the crankshaft position sensor. The ECM uses each crankshaft position signal pulse to determine crankshaft speed and decodes the crankshaft encoder wheel reference gap to identify crankshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine. The ECM also uses crankshaft position sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control camshaft phasing, and to detect cylinder misfire.

1. Ignition OFF, inspect the engine wiring harness carrying the crankshaft position sensor circuits for the following conditions:

•	Close routing of aftermarket electrical equipment

•	Close to solenoids, motors, and relays

•	If any of these are determined to be a possible source of electrical interference, correct any wiring harness routing or component placement conditions.

2. Engine idling, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0335 00 or P0336 00 should not set
3. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor.
2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. Ignition On, test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor.

Static Test

Inspect the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor for looseness, damage and correct installation.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
