Crankshaft position sensor code

A crankshaft position sensor code refers to a specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that is triggered when the vehicle’s computer detects a problem with the crankshaft position sensor.   These codes can help technicians identify and fix problems with the sensor. Here are a few common crankshaft position sensor codes:

1. P0335:The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0335 is related to the crankshaft position sensor “A” circuit.  This code is triggered when the vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) detects a problem with the signal coming from the crankshaft position sensor. When a P0335 code is triggered, it usually indicates that the crankshaft position sensor may be faulty or malfunctioning, or that there may be a problem with the wiring or connectors associated with the crankshaft position sensor, such as a short or open circuit, or a mechanical problem with the engine itself, such as a timing belt or chain problem.
2.   P0336:The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0336 is set by the car’s computer when it detects an issue with the Crankshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Range/Performance. When the P0336 code is set, it means the ECM or PCM has detected that the signal from the crankshaft position sensor is outside of the normal expected range, which could indicate an issue with the sensor itself or with the circuit. Some common symptoms of a P0336 code can include Difficulty starting the car, Engine misfires or stalling, Reduced engine performance and The Check Engine Light turns on, etc.
