The crankshaft position system variation compensating
values are stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) non-volatile memory
after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft
position system variation is not within the crankshaft position system
variation compensating values stored in the PCM, DTC P0300
may set. Refer to Diagnostic Aids for DTC P0300.
The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure should be
performed if any of the following conditions are true:
| • | The PCM has been replaced. |
| • | The engine has been replaced. |
| • | The crankshaft has been replaced. |
| • | The crankshaft harmonic balancer has been replaced. |
| • | The crankshaft position sensor has been replaced. |
Caution: Before performing the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning
Procedure always set the vehicle parking brake and block the drive wheels
in order to prevent personal injury. Release the throttle immediately when
the engine starts to decelerate in order to eliminate over revving the engine.
Once the learn procedure is completed, the control module will return engine
control to the operator and the engine will respond to the throttle position.
Important: The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will
be inhibited if the engine coolant temperature is less than 70°C (158°F).
Allow the engine to warm to at least 70°C (158°F) before
attempting the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure.
The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will
be inhibited if any powertrain DTCs other than DTC P1336 are set before
or during the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure.
Diagnose and repair any DTCs if set. Refer to the applicable DTCs.
The crankshaft position system variation learn function will be inhibited
if the PCM detects a malfunction involving the camshaft position signal circuit,
the 3X reference circuit, or the 24X reference circuit.
The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will
not be enabled until engine coolant temperature reaches 70°C (158°F)
Selecting the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure
on the scan tool will command the PCM to enable CKP system variation learn
fuel cutoff and allow the crankshaft position system variation compensating
values to be stored in the PCM. The PCM must detect an engine speed
of 5150 RPM during the Crankshaft Position System Variation
Learn procedure to store the crankshaft position system variation
compensating values and complete the procedure.
- Set the parking brake.
- Block the drive wheel.
- Ensure the hood is closed.
- Start the engine and allow the engine to idle until the engine
coolant temperature reaches at least 70°C (158°F).
- Turn OFF the ignition switch.
- Select and enable the crankshaft position variation learn procedure
with the scan tool.
- Start the vehicle.
- Apply and hold the service brake pedal firmly.
- Ensure the transaxle is in Park.
- Increase the accelerator pedal position until the fuel cutoff
is reached at 5150 RPM. Immediately release the accelerator pedal after
fuel cutoff is reached.
- The crankshaft position system variation compensating values
are learned when the RPM decreases back to idle.
- Observe the DTC status for DTC P1336.
- If the scan tool indicates that DTC P1336 ran and passed,
the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure is complete. If the
scan tool indicates DTC P1336 failed or not run, check for
other DTCs. If no DTCs other than P1336 are set, repeat the Crankshaft
Position System Variation Learn procedure as necessary.
