DTC P0336 [13B-MSP]

DTC REFERENCE CHART

DTC P0336

Eccentric shaft position sensor circuit range/performance problem

DETECTION CONDITION

The PCM monitors the input signal from the eccentric shaft position sensor when the engine is running. If the input signal is not the proper pulse pattern, the PCM determines that there is an eccentric shaft position sensor circuit range/performance problem.

Diagnostic support note

This is a continuous monitor (CCM.)
The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in the first drive cycle.
FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Eccentric shaft position plate malfunction
Connector or terminal malfunction
Eccentric shaft position sensor is dirty
Eccentric shaft position sensor malfunction
PCM malfunction

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION PLATE Inspect the eccentric shaft position plate. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION PLATE INSPECTION [13B-MSP] .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the eccentric shaft position plate, then go to Step 7. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION Turn the ignition switch off. Disconnect the eccentric shaft position sensor connector. Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion.) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 7.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR Inspect the eccentric shaft position sensor. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION [13B-MSP] .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the eccentric shaft position sensor, then go to Step 7. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION Turn the ignition switch off. Disconnect the PCM connector. Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion.) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal, then go to the next step.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0336 COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. Start the engine. Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [13B-MSP] .)
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [13B-MSP] .) Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [13B-MSP] .)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
