P0336

DTC P0336

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on top of the flywheel housing. There are 56 notches spaced 6° apart and a 24° section that is uncut. This uncut portion allows for the detection of cylinder #1 top dead center (TDC). The CKP sensor is a magnetic coil type sensor, which generates an AC signal voltage based on the crankshaft rotational speed. The engine control module (ECM) monitors both the CKP sensor and camshaft position (CMP) sensor signals to ensure they correlate with each other. If the ECM receives extra or missing CKP sensor signal pulses, this DTC will set.

Condition for Running the DTC
- DTCs P0335 or P0340 are not set.
- The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts.
- The engine speed is higher than 350 RPM.
- The CKP sensor signal is detected.

Condition for Setting the DTC
- The ECM detects extra or missing CKP sensor pulses during 50 engine rotations.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive driving cycle when the diagnostic runs an fails.
- The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records on the second consecutive driving cycle when the diagnostic runs and fails.

Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
- The ECM turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive driving cycles when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic after the ECM turns OFF the MIL.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
- An intermittent CKP sensor signal may set this DTC.
- Ensure the sensor is tight and the flywheel teeth are not damaged.

If an intermittent condition is suspected, the following may cause an intermittent:
- Poor connections
- Misrouted harness
- Rubbed through wire insulation
- Broken wire inside the insulation

Check for the following conditions:
- Poor connection at the ECM: Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal to wire connection.
- Damaged harness: Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the "Crank Signal Present" display on the scan tool with the engine running while moving connectors and the wiring harness related to the sensor. A change in the display will indicate the location of the fault.
