DTC    P0339    Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent

DESCRIPTION

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor system consists of a crankshaft position sensor plate and a magnetic coil.
The sensor plate has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The pickup coil is made of windings, an iron core and magnet. The sensor plate rotates and as each tooth passes through the pickup coil, a pulse signal is created. The pickup coil generates 34 signals for each engine revolution. Based on these signals, the ECM calculates the crankshaft position and engine RPM. Using these calculations, the fuel injection time and ignition time are controlled.

DTC No.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If there is no signal from the crankshaft position sensor despite the engine revolving, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, these DTCs are set 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. If no problem is found by this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshooting the engine mechanical system.
  2. Check the engine speed. The engine speed can be checked by using the intelligent tester. To check, follow the operation below:
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Start the engine.
    3. Turn the tester ON
    4. Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / Data List / Engine Speed
    1. The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine revolving normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed, if the CKP sensor output voltage is insufficient.
  3. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was LEAN or RICH, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1.INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
A078431E03

  1. Disconnect the E3 crankshaft position (CKP) sensor connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the between terminal 1 and 2.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		Cold
    		1,630 to 2,740 Ω
    1 - 2
    		Hot
    		2,065 to 3,225 Ω

    HINT:
    Terms cold and hot refer to the temperature of the coils. Cold means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). Hot means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

  1. Reconnect the CKP sensor connector.

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)
A107697E03

  1. Disconnect the E3 CKP sensor connector.

  1. Disconnect the E8 ECM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance (Check for open):
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    E3-1 - NE+ (E8-32)
    		Below 1 Ω
    E3-2 - NE- (E8-31)
    		Below 1 Ω

    Standard resistance (Check for short):
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    E3-1 or NE+ (E8-32) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
    E3-2 or NE- (E8-31) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher

  1. Reconnect the ECM connector.

  1. Reconnect the CKP sensor connector.
