DTC P0336 (Flash Code 15) Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (RZ4E-TC)

1. DTC P0336 description

The CKP sensor is installed on the top of the flywheel housing. There are 56 notches spaced 6° apart and a 30° opening on the outer circumference of the flywheel. Top dead center of cylinder No. 1 can be detected through this opening. The ECM monitors the signal pulses of the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor to make sure they correlate with each other. If the ECM receives excessive or short CKP sensor signal pulses, the DTC is set.
