DTC P0335-11: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Ground; DTC P0335-15: Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open [12/2019 - 10/2022]: Description

The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate and Magneto Resistance Element (MRE) type sensor. The crankshaft position sensor plate has 34 teeth at 10° intervals (2 teeth are missing for detecting top dead center), and is installed on the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor generates 34 signals per crankshaft revolution. The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor signal (NE signal) to detect the crankshaft position and engine speed.
