•  CKP sensor is dirty
•  Short to ground circuit between CKP sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 22
•  Short to ground circuit between CKP sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 21
•  Open circuit between CKP sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 22
•  Open circuit between CKP sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 21

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED

•  If vehicle is not repaired, go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
3
VERIFY CKP SENSOR VOLTAGE
•  Disconnect CKP sensor connector.
•  Connect voltmeter between CKP sensor connector terminals B and A (sensor-side).
•  Check the voltage in AC range while cranking the engine.
•  Is there any voltage reading?
Yes
Go to step 5.
No
Go to next step.
4
INSPECT CKP SENSOR
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Perform CKP sensor inspection.
•  Is CKP sensor normal?
Yes
Check crankshaft pulley for damage. Replace pulley and go to Step 11.
No
Replace CKP sensor, then go to Step 11.
5
CHECK CKP CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Disconnect CKP sensor connector.
•  Check continuity between following terminal and body ground:
―  CKP sensor connector terminal B (harness-side)
―  CKP sensor connector terminal A (harness-side)
•  Is there any continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected harness, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to next step.
6
INSPECT CKP CIRCUITS FOR SHORTS
•  Check continuity between CKP sensor connector terminals B and A (harness-side).
•  Is there any continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace suspected harness, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to step 9.
7
INSPECT CKP SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Verify that the CKP sensor connector is connected securely.
•  Is connector normal?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Reconnect the connector, then go to Step 11.
8
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect PCM connector.
•  Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair terminal, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to next step.
9
INSPECT CKP CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Disconnect CKP sensor connector.
•  Disconnect PCM connector.
•  Check continuity between following circuits:
―  CKP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and PCM terminal 22
―  CKP sensor terminal A (harness-side) and PCM terminal 21
•  Is there any continuity?
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Repair or replace suspected harness, then go to Step 11.
10
INSPECT CKP SENSOR
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Perform CKP sensor inspection.
•  Is CKP sensor normal?
Yes
Check for poor connection (damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion, etc.) or bent terminal of CKP sensor connector.
•  Repair if necessary, then go to next step.
No
Replace CKP sensor and then go to next step.
11
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0320 COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine OFF).
•  Clear DTC from memory using M-MDS.
•  Start engine.
•  Is pending code of same DTC present?
Yes
Replace PCM, then go to next step.
No
Go to next step.
12
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE".
•  Is there any DTC present?
Yes
Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
