WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The CKP system variation compensating values are stored in PCM memory after a learn procedure has been performed. If the actual crankshaft position variation is not within the CKP system variation compensating values stored in the PCM, DTC P0300 may set.
The CKP system variation learn procedure is also required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P1336 is set:
- Engine replacement.
- PCM replacement.
- A harmonic balancer replacement.
- Crankshaft replacement.
- CKP sensor replacement.
- Any engine repairs which disturbs crankshaft/harmonic balancer to crankshaft position sensor relationship.
If the CKP system variation learn procedure cannot be performed successfully, check for the following conditions and correct as necessary:
- A damaged reluctor wheel.
- Excessive crankshaft runout.
- A damaged crankshaft.
- Interference in the signal circuit of the CKP sensor.
- A coolant temperature that is not within the Conditions for Running the DTC.
- The ignition switch is in the ON position until the battery is drained.
- A PCM power disconnect with the ignition ON may erase the stored value and set the DTC P1336.
