Crankshaft position sensor

Fault symptoms

The engine fails to start or misfires. Other diagnostic trouble codes (misfiring).

Conditions

P0335


Engine speed > 520 rpm.

The crankshaft position sensor reads the wrong number of ribs per crankshaft revolution.


P0336


Engine speed > 520 rpm.

The crankshaft position sensor cannot find the gap in the toothed wheel.


Diagnostic help

The diagnostic trouble code usually indicates an intermittent fault. The diagnostic trouble code could be generated if the slotted ring mounted on the crankshaft has been damaged in connection with work carried out on the basic engine, for instance.

Check the wiring

Intermittent faults may occur as a result of temporary short circuits and breaks in the wiring. Jiggle the wiring at several points and in different directions to ascertain whether the wiring harness, including any connectors, is causing the trouble. Observe the multimeter, ISAT scan tool or test lamp while doing this.

Diagnostic procedure

1. Check the resistance of the crankshaft position sensor




- Unplug the crankshaft position sensor's 4-pin connector.

- Take a resistance reading on the contacts of the sensor's connector, across:

- Check for possible stray currents between the signal lead and the screening.


Are the readings OK?

yes

Continue with point 2.


no

Change the crankshaft position sensor. Continue with point 5.


2. Check the mounting of the crankshaft position sensor



- Remove the crankshaft position sensor and check:



- Brush any metal filings, etc. off the sensor and change the engine oil.


Is the slotted ring damaged or insecurely mounted?

yes

See Basic engine .


no

Continue with point 3.


3. Check the electrical interface between the crankshaft position sensor and the control module



- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.



- Connect the test lamp to the crankshaft position sensor's connector between:


The test lamp should light up in both cases.


- Using a multimeter, take a reading between:


Desired reading: about 1.8 V.

Are the readings OK?

yes

Continue with point 4.


no

Repair or replace the relevant lead between:

• pin 2 and control module pin 43.

• pin 1 and control module pin 16.

• pin 3 and grounding point G7S.


4. Final check



- Clear the diagnostic trouble code.

- Implementation of driving cycle:

- Evaluation of driving cycle:


Has the diagnostic trouble code recurred?

yes

Continue as described in .


no

The steps taken to rectify the fault were correct.
