Engine Speed / Position Sensors
P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Range/Performance
Description
Engine speed is calculated by measuring the time between the ‘teeth’ of the crankshaft sensor trigger disc. The
disc has 34 ‘teeth’ and 2 missing ‘teeth’, spaced at 10 degree intervals around the disc. The 2 missing ‘teeth’
are positioned at 225 degrees before cylinder No.1 and 4 TDC. The crankshaft sensor signal is also used to
determine misfires events.
