mittent
DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor system consists of a CKP sensor plate and a pickup coil.
The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of wound copper
wire, an iron core and magnet. The sensor plate rotates and, as each tooth passes through the pickup
coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals per engine revolution. Based on these
signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine RPM. Using these calculations, the fuel
injection time and ignition timing are controlled. ES
DTC No. DTC Detection Conditions Trouble Areas
When either condition below is met:
• Open or short in CKP sensor circuit
• No CKP sensor signal to ECM while cranking (1 trip
• CKP sensor
P0335 detection logic)
• CKP sensor plate
• No CKP sensor signal to ECM at engine speed of 600
• ECM
rpm or more (1 trip detection logic)
Under conditions (a), (b) and (c), no CKP sensor signal to
ECM for 0.05 seconds or more
• Open or short in CKP sensor circuit
(1 trip detection logic):
• CKP sensor
P0339 (a) Engine speed 1,000 rpm or more
• CKP sensor plate
(b) Starter signal OFF
• ECM
(c) 3 seconds or more have elapsed since starter signal
switched from ON to OFF

HINT:
• The correct waveform is as shown.
• G2+ stands for the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor signal, and NE+ stands for the CKP sensor signal.
• Grounding failure of the shielded wire may cause noise in waveforms.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there is no signal from the CKP sensor despite the engine revolving, the ECM interprets this as a
malfunction of the sensor.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
• If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshoot procedure, troubleshoot the engine
mechanical systems.
• Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked by using the intelligent tester. To check,
follow the operation below:
(a)Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b)Start the engine.
(c) Turn the tester ON
(d)Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY /
ENGINE SPD.
The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine revolving normally. This is caused
by a lack of NE signals from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed
may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed if the CKP sensor output voltage is
insufficient.
• Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition
when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the
vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or
rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1 READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE SPD)

(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the tester ON.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / ENGINE
SPD.
(e) Start the engine.
(f) Read the values displayed on the tester while the engine
is running.
Standard:
ES Correct values are displayed.
HINT:
• To check the engine speed change, display the graph
on the tester.
• If the engine does not start, check the engine speed
while cranking.
• If the engine speed indicated on the tester remains
zero (0), there may be an open or short in the
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor circuit.
