P1335
CKP Circuit
Causes
- Damaged or contaminated CKP sensor
- Open, shorted or corroded wiring/connector between CKP sensor and PCM
- Faulty CKP reluctor/trigger wheel (missing, damaged, loose teeth)
- Intermittent connector contact or bent pins
- Failed or intermittent PCM/ECM input circuit
- Incorrect sensor air gap or sensor misalignment
Symptoms
- Engine may crank but not start, or difficult/no-start conditions
- Intermittent stalling while driving or rough idle
- Lack of RPM signal on a scan tool or erratic RPM reading
- No spark or intermittent ignition misfires
- Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated with P1335 stored
- Reduced engine performance or limp-home mode
What to check
- Read and record freeze frame and live data with a scan tool (engine speed, DTC history)
- Inspect CKP sensor connector and wiring for corrosion, bent pins, damaged insulation, or loose terminals
- Visually inspect reluctor/trigger wheel for missing or damaged teeth and correct alignment
- Backprobe sensor connector to verify reference voltage and ground (if applicable)
- Wiggle-test harness while monitoring live RPM/signal to reproduce intermittent faults
- Check for related DTCs (camshaft sensor, crank/cam correlation) that may indicate timing or sensor alignment issues
Signal parameters
- Hall-effect CKP: digital square wave, typically 0–5 V (or pull-up to reference voltage), transitions corresponding to reluctor teeth
- Variable Reluctance (VR) CKP: AC sine/triangular waveform, amplitude increases with RPM (typical ~0.2–2.0 VAC at low speeds; higher as RPM increases)
- Frequency: proportional to engine speed; pulses per revolution equals reluctor tooth count—confirm expected pulse count for engine
- Signal should be stable and consistent when cranking and at idle; no excessive jitter or dropouts
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify the code and retrieve freeze-frame/live data. Confirm symptom reproducibility (no-start, stall, erratic RPM).
- Visually inspect CKP sensor, connector, and wiring for damage, contamination, corrosion, or loose terminals. Repair as needed.
- Check sensor supply: backprobe connector to verify reference voltage (if Hall sensor) and good ground. For VR sensors check AC output while cranking with a DVOM/oscilloscope.
- Measure sensor resistance (for VR sensors) and compare to factory spec. If out of range, replace sensor.
- Use an oscilloscope to view the CKP waveform while cranking and running. Look for missing pulses, weak amplitude, noise, or irregular timing. Confirm pulse count per crank revolution.
- Inspect reluctor/trigger wheel for damage, missing teeth, or misalignment. Repair or replace as required; verify correct air gap between sensor and reluctor.
- Perform continuity and short-to-ground/battery checks on wiring between sensor and PCM. Repair any opens or shorts; replace damaged harness or connectors.
- If wiring and sensor test good, consider swapping with a known-good sensor (if available) or inspect PCM inputs. Replace PCM only after all other causes eliminated and with proper bench/diagnostic verification.
- Clear codes and retest under same conditions to confirm repair. If intermittent, road test and monitor live CKP signal and RPM for stability.
Likely causes
- Contaminated or failed CKP sensor
- Broken or shorted harness/connector at CKP sensor
- Damaged reluctor ring or missing teeth
- Poor ground or reference supply to the sensor

Symptoms
- Engine may crank but not start, or difficult/no-start conditions
- Intermittent stalling while driving or rough idle
- Lack of RPM signal on a scan tool or erratic RPM reading
- No spark or intermittent ignition misfires
- Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated with P1335 stored
- Reduced engine performance or limp-home mode
What to check
- Read and record freeze frame and live data with a scan tool (engine speed, DTC history)
- Inspect CKP sensor connector and wiring for corrosion, bent pins, damaged insulation, or loose terminals
- Visually inspect reluctor/trigger wheel for missing or damaged teeth and correct alignment
- Backprobe sensor connector to verify reference voltage and ground (if applicable)
- Wiggle-test harness while monitoring live RPM/signal to reproduce intermittent faults
- Check for related DTCs (camshaft sensor, crank/cam correlation) that may indicate timing or sensor alignment issues
Signal parameters
- Hall-effect CKP: digital square wave, typically 0–5 V (or pull-up to reference voltage), transitions corresponding to reluctor teeth
- Variable Reluctance (VR) CKP: AC sine/triangular waveform, amplitude increases with RPM (typical ~0.2–2.0 VAC at low speeds; higher as RPM increases)
- Frequency: proportional to engine speed; pulses per revolution equals reluctor tooth count—confirm expected pulse count for engine
- Signal should be stable and consistent when cranking and at idle; no excessive jitter or dropouts
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify the code and retrieve freeze-frame/live data. Confirm symptom reproducibility (no-start, stall, erratic RPM).
- Visually inspect CKP sensor, connector, and wiring for damage, contamination, corrosion, or loose terminals. Repair as needed.
- Check sensor supply: backprobe connector to verify reference voltage (if Hall sensor) and good ground. For VR sensors check AC output while cranking with a DVOM/oscilloscope.
- Measure sensor resistance (for VR sensors) and compare to factory spec. If out of range, replace sensor.
- Use an oscilloscope to view the CKP waveform while cranking and running. Look for missing pulses, weak amplitude, noise, or irregular timing. Confirm pulse count per crank revolution.
- Inspect reluctor/trigger wheel for damage, missing teeth, or misalignment. Repair or replace as required; verify correct air gap between sensor and reluctor.
- Perform continuity and short-to-ground/battery checks on wiring between sensor and PCM. Repair any opens or shorts; replace damaged harness or connectors.
- If wiring and sensor test good, consider swapping with a known-good sensor (if available) or inspect PCM inputs. Replace PCM only after all other causes eliminated and with proper bench/diagnostic verification.
- Clear codes and retest under same conditions to confirm repair. If intermittent, road test and monitor live CKP signal and RPM for stability.
Likely causes
- Contaminated or failed CKP sensor
- Broken or shorted harness/connector at CKP sensor
- Damaged reluctor ring or missing teeth
