DTC P0335: Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit: Description

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is a variable reluctance sensor. The CKP sensor indicates the crankshaft speed and position. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency. The frequency depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The AC voltage output depends on the crankshaft position and the battery voltage. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 58 tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. The CKP sensor connects to the Engine Control Module (ECM) through the following circuits:

The ECM detects no signal from the CKP sensor, DTC P0335 sets.
