Description

Function of the Crankshaft Position Sensor

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) monitors the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft. It sends this critical data to the engine control unit (ECU), which uses it to calculate ignition timing and fuel injection timing. Without an accurate crank signal, the engine cannot fire at the correct moment. A faulty crank sensor causes hard starting, engine stalling, misfires, intermittent no-start conditions, and a check engine light.

Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

A generic OBD reader displays the standard 5-character code shown below.

• P0335 — Crankshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit
• P0336 — Crankshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Range/Performance
• P0337 — Crankshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Low Input
• P0338 — Crankshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit High Input

Why order it from Partszar

A faulty sensor, coil or starter feeds the engine the wrong signal, so it runs rich, misfires, will not start or drops into limp mode, and the fault light stays on until it is fixed. Once this is replaced the ECU gets what it expects and the vehicle runs the way it did when it was new.
