P0335 - CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT - DTC CHART

Description:  This DTC sets when the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor profile ignition pickup (PIP) pulse is missing for greater than a calibrated number of camshaft revolutions when the camshaft speed exceeds the equivalent speed of engine idle or the starter motor is engaged.
Possible Causes: 
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent open (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit open (VR type)
  • CKP circuit open (Hall effect type)
  • VREF circuit open (Hall effect type)
  • SIGRTN circuit open (Hall effect type)
  • CKP+ circuit short to voltage (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit short to voltage (VR type)
  • CKP circuit short to voltage (Hall effect type)
  • VREF circuit short to voltage (Hall effect type)
  • SIGRTN circuit short to voltage (Hall effect type)
  • CKP+ circuit short to ground (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit short to ground (VR type)
  • CKP circuit short to ground (Hall effect type)
  • VREF circuit short to ground (Hall effect type)
  • SIGRTN circuit short to ground (Hall effect type)
  • Damaged CKP sensor
  • CKP sensor incorrectly installed
  • Incorrect, damaged or corroded connections
Diagnostic Aids:  An inactive CKP signal causes a no start condition. Monitor the RPM PID while cranking the engine. A value of 0 RPM indicates a CKP concern.
