With the engine racing (4,000 rpm) measure between ter-
minals KNKR, KNKL  of ECM and body ground.

HINT: The correct waveform is as shown.

Spread the time on the horizontal axis, and confirm that

Crankshaft Position Sensor ”A” Circuit 
Malfunction

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a signal plate and pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G22 sig-
nals, and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:Perform troubleshooting of DTC P0335 first. If no trouble is found, troubleshoot the following mechani-
cal systems.

1

Check resistance of crankshaft position sensor (See page 

IG–12

).

Reference  INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE

During cranking or idling, check between terminals G22+ and
NE–, NE and NE– of ECM.
HINT:The correct waveforms are as shown.

NG

 Replace crankshaft position sensor.

OK

2

Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and 
crankshaft position sensor (See page 

IN–27

).

NG

 Repair or replace harness or connector.

OK
