DTC P1336: Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned
Circuit/System Description
The Crankshaft Position sensor sends pulses to the ECM as the reluctor wheel teeth rotate past the Crankshaft Position sensor. The ECM uses the Crankshaft Position pulses to synchronize the ignition and fuel injector operation, and to time the interval between each Crankshaft Position pulse. The ECM determines when an excessive change in crankshaft speed occurs by comparing each new time interval with the previous interval. A misfire causes an unexpected change in the crankshaft speed. A certain amount of acceleration/deceleration is expected between each firing stroke, but if the crankshaft speed changes more then an expected amount, the ECM interprets this as a misfire. The interval between the Crankshaft Position sensor pulses is extremely small. At high engine speeds, slight variations in the following components make misfire detection difficult: Crankshaft, Reluctor wheel and the Crankshaft Position sensor. The ECM compensates for these variations when performing detect misfire calculations.

Circuit/System Testing
Verify none of the following conditions exist:
• | A worn or damaged crankshaft or crankshaft bearings |
• | Debris between the crankshaft position sensor and the reluctor wheel |
• | A damaged reluctor wheel |
• | Excessive crankshaft runout |
• | Any interference of the crankshaft position sensor or crankshaft position sensor signal to the control module |
