P0336-2F: Crank Shaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Range / Performance – crankshaft signal disturbance
Overview:
DTC Description (User Friendly)
crankshaft signal disturbance
ECU Pin Number
A020, A021
Customer Symptom
Engine possibly will not start, MIL ON
Fault Effects (On Vehicle)
Engine possibly will not start.
Lamp Status (If Any)
MIL ON
Fault Detection Condition (Root cause)
If the crankshaft signal is disturbed, one or more of the
reasons for this disturbance is detected and leads to a new
synchronization. If the number of signal plausibilisation errors
reaches the threshold36 (value - 80) the signal error is set.
Normal Operating Condition
No Fault
Probable Trouble Area
Crank Shaft sensor wiring connections with EMS ECU.
Connector of Crank shaft sensor.
Crank Shaft Sensor
EMS ECU faulty
Healing Condition
Rectify the error
Clear through diagnostic tool
Ignition OFF & ON
Component Details:
This is fitted on the crankcase and faces the phonic wheel on the flywheel. It is inductive type, i.e. its operation is
determined by magnetic field changes generated by the teeth passing in front of the phonic wheel. The changeover from
full to empty determined by the presence or absence of a gap brings about a magnetic flux change sufficient to generate
an induced alternating voltage proportional to the number of teeth on the ring (or phonic wheel). The frequency and
amplitude of the voltage send to the electronic control unit provides the latter with an indication of the engine angular
speed. The sensor output signal approximates a sine wave whose frequency is proportional to engine speed and
amplitude is approximately proportional to engine speed. Active edge is generated from zero crossing point positive to
negative transition.
Preliminary Checks:
1. Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned in above
Table. If yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
2. Check whether other customers report similar complaints earlier. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with
respect to earlier issue closure.
3. Loose/ Damaged Connections between Crank shaft Sensor and EMS ECU.
4. Check for damage / back out of pins at ECU connector.
5. Check for damage / back out of pins at crank shaft sensor’s connector.
Trouble Shooting:
Step Checks
IF YES

Is there wiring harness electrical continuity between ECU
pin A020 & Crank Shaft sensor pin 1, ECU pin A021 and
Crank shaft sensor pin 2.
