Description

Function of the Crankshaft Position Sensor

The crankshaft position sensor, also called the engine speed sensor, provides the engine control unit with a signal used to determine crankshaft speed and position. The control unit uses this information to coordinate fuel injection. A faulty sensor or its wiring can cause starting difficulties, intermittent stalling or a loss of engine-speed signal. Check the connector and wiring during diagnosis before replacing the sensor.

Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

A generic OBD reader displays the standard 5-character codes below. These are general crankshaft sensor codes; the codes reported depend on the vehicle’s ECU.

• P0335 — Crankshaft position sensor A circuit fault
• P0336 — Crankshaft position sensor A signal range/performance fault
• P0337 — Crankshaft position sensor A input too low
• P0338 — Crankshaft position sensor A input too high
• P0339 — Crankshaft position sensor A intermittent signal

Check the sensor connector and wiring before replacement. A fault code alone does not confirm that the sensor has failed.
