P0335 — Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit
Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit
Definition
The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) circuit is not providing a signal. The CKP sensor is critical — it tells the ECM the exact rotational position and speed of the crankshaft, which is essential for ignition timing and fuel injection.
Common Causes
- Faulty crankshaft position sensor
- Damaged reluctor ring (tone wheel)
- Wiring harness damage or short
- Excessive sensor-to-reluctor air gap
