The CKP sensor is a magnetic generator type sensor, producing an alternating current signal. The CKP sensor signal increases in both frequency and amplitude as the engine RPM increases. The CKP sensor reluctor has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft behind the timing chain cover and the crankshaft pulley. When the crankshaft rotates, the CKP sensor signal rotor teeth pass by the CKP sensor causing a fluctuation in the sensors magnetic field. The fluctuation in the magnetic field induces a voltage in the CKP sensor circuitry that corresponds to every 10 degrees of crankshaft rotation. The reluctor has one wide tooth that indicates top dead center (TDC) of the number 1 cylinder. With the information that the PCM receives from the CKP sensor, the PCM determines engine speed and crankshaft position. There will be no spark or fuel delivery if there is no CKP sensor signal.
• | The engine is cranking or running. |
• | When cranking, the crank signal circuit must communicate to the PCM that the starter is cranking the engine. |
• | DTC P0335 runs continuously once the above condition is met. |
• | Engine speed is greater than 600 RPM. |
• | DTC P0339 runs continuously once the above condition is met. |
• | No CKP sensor input to the PCM for 5 seconds while cranking the engine. |
OR |
• | No CKP sensor input to the PCM with the engine for 3 seconds with the engine running. |
The CKP sensor input is not continuous when the engine is running.
DTCs P0335 and P0339 are Type B DTCs.
DTCs P0335 and P0339 are Type B DTCs.
The following conditions could also set the DTCs:
• | Physical damage to the CKP sensor or the reluctor wheel |
• | Excessive play or looseness of the CKP sensor or the reluctor wheel |
• | Improper installation of the CKP sensor or the reluctor wheel |
• | Foreign material passing between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel |
• | Excessive air gap between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel |

Important: If you were sent here from Engine Cranks but Does Not Run, proceed to Circuit/System Testing.
Important: If the CKP sensor lead is damaged in any way, replace the CKP sensor.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the applicable circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the applicable circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM. |
Important: If the CKP sensor lead is damaged in any way, replace the CKP sensor.
• | 1,630-2,740 ohms at -10 to +50°C (+14 to +122°F) |
• | 2,065-3,225 ohms at 50-100°C (122-212°F) |
⇒ | If not within the specified range, replace the CKP sensor. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
