Circuit/System Description

The crankshaft position sensor detects crankshaft speed and position. The crankshaft position sensor produces an alternating current (AC) voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft, and the AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and battery voltage. The crankshaft position sensor works in conjunction with a 58 tooth reluctor wheel attached to the crankshaft. The engine control module (ECM) can synchronise the ignition timing, fuel injector timing, and spark knock control based on the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor inputs. The crankshaft position sensor is also used to detect misfire.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0335 Condition 1

    • DTCs P0101, P0102 and P0103 are not set.
    • The engine is attempting to start and the camshaft position sensor pulses are being received.
    • Calculated Air Flow is greater than 3.0 g/s.

Condition 2

    • DTC P0651 is not active.
    • The engine is running.

Condition 3

    • DTCs P0365, P0366, P0641, and P0651, are not set.
    • The engine is running or the engine is attempting to start.

P0336 Condition 1

    • DTCs P0335 or P0651 are not set.
    • Calculated Air Flow is greater than 3.0 g/s.
    • Engine speed is greater than 450 RPM.

Condition 2

    • DTC P0651 is not set.
    • The engine is running.

Condition 3

    • DTCs P0101, P0102, and P0103 are not set.
    • Engine is attempting to start and the camshaft position sensor pulses are being received.
    • Calculated Air Flow is greater than 3.0 g/s.

Condition 4

    • DTCs P0365, P0366, P0641, and P0651 are not set.
    • The engine is running or the engine is attempting to start.

The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0335

DTC P0335 sets if one of the conditions listed below occur:

    • The ECM detects that the engine has been attempting to start for greater than 4 s without a crankshaft position sensor pulse.
    • Engine running and the ECM does not detect a crankshaft position sensor pulse for 0.7 s.

P0336

DTC P0336 sets if one of the conditions listed below occur:

    • The ECM detects that the engine has been attempting to start for greater than 1.5 s without detecting the synchronisation gap on the reluctor wheel.
    • The ECM detects that the engine is running, but greater than 10 crankshaft resynchronisation have occurred within 10 s.
    • The ECM detects that the engine is running for greater than 0.4 s without detecting the synchronisation gap on the reluctor wheel.
    • The ECM detects that the engine is running, but receives less than 51 or greater than 65 crankshaft position sensor pulses, during one engine revolution.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • DTCs P0335 and P0336 are Type B DTCs.
    • The Driver Information Centre displays Engine not available, Service Soon and Propulsion power is reduced.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0335 and P0336 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

The following conditions may also set the DTCs:

    • Physical damage to the crankshaft position sensor or the reluctor wheel
    • Excessive play or looseness of the crankshaft position sensor or the reluctor wheel
    • Improper installation of the crankshaft position sensor or the reluctor wheel
    • Foreign material passing between the crankshaft position sensor and the reluctor wheel
    • Excessive air gap between the crankshaft position sensor and the reluctor wheel
    • The ECM uses the camshaft position sensors to determine engine speed and position when there is a crankshaft position sensor condition.

Circuit/System Verification

Note: If you were sent here from Engine Cranks But Does Not Run, proceed to Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Vehicle in Service Mode, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify DTCs P0651, P2618, or P2619 are not set.
  2. If a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.
  3. Attempt to start the engine. Observe the scan tool Engine Speed parameter. The scan tool should indicate an engine speed greater than 0 RPM.
  4. Attempt to start the engine. Observe the scan tool HPCM Engine Speed parameter. The scan tool should indicate an engine speed greater than 0 RPM.
  5. If the above condition exists, refer to DTCs P2618 or P2619 for further diagnosis.
  6. Move the related harnesses/connectors of the B26 crankshaft position sensor and verify the engine does not stumble, stall, or change engine speed.
  7. If the above condition exists, repair the harness/connectors as necessary.
  8. Attempt to start the engine. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0335 and P0336 should not set.
  9. 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.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Vehicle OFF. Disconnect the harness connector at the B26 crankshaft position sensor.
  2. Vehicle OFF, all systems OFF. It may take 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
  3. If greater than the specified range, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  4. Vehicle in Service Mode, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
  5. 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 ECM.
    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 ECM.
  6. Test for 4.8-5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
  7. 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 ECM.
    If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  8. Vehicle OFF, connect a 3 A fused jumper wire to the signal circuit terminal 3.
  9. Vehicle ON, momentarily touch the end of the fused jumper wire to ground while monitoring the scan tool Crankshaft Position Sensor Active Counter. The parameter should increment.
  10. If the parameter does not increment, replace the K20 ECM.
  11. If all circuits test normal, replace the B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor.
