DTC P0335-1F: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent; DTC P0335-2A: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Signal Stuck in Range; DTC P0335-31: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" No Signal [12/2019 - 10/2022]: Procedure

  1. CHECK ENGINE 
    1. Check the engine cranking condition.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Cranking is OK A
      Does not crank at all* B

      HINT: 

      *: When the engine cannot crank, there may be a malfunction in the starter assembly.

    Result: 

    GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE (ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK (DOES NOT START)) 

    Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [12/2019 - 10/2022]

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE SPEED) 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Read the values displayed on the GTS while the engine is running.

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List 

      Tester Display
      Engine Speed

      Standard

      Correct values are displayed.

      HINT: 

      • To check the engine speed change, display the graph on the GTS.
      • If the engine does not start, check the engine speed while cranking.
      • If the engine speed indicated on the GTS remains at zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 

    Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [12/2019 - 10/2022]

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    *a Front view of wire harness connector
    (to Crankshaft Position Sensor)

    HINT: 

    Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.

    1. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      n7-3 (VC) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V
      n7-1 (NE+) - Body ground Ignition switch ON 3.0 to 5.0 V
    4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
    5. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      n7-3 (VC) - n7-1 (NE+) Ignition switch off 1.425 to 1.575 kΩ
      n7-2 (NE-) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  6

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION AND CONDUCT VISUAL INSPECTION (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR) 
    GTY437034Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    *a Clearance
    1. Visually check the crankshaft position sensor for damage.
    2. Check the crankshaft position sensor installation condition.

      OK

      The crankshaft position sensor does not have any damage and is installed properly.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    SECURELY REINSTALL CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 

    Refer to INSTALLATION [12/2019 - 10/2022]

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. INSPECT NO. 1 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE (TEETH OF CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE) 
    1. Inspect the teeth of the No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate.

      OK

      No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate does not have any cracks or deformation.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 

    Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE NO. 1 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR PLATE 

    Refer to REMOVAL [12/2019 - 10/2022]

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
