WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2003 Hummer H2, 2003 GMC Yukon XL, 2003 GMC Yukon, 2003 GMC Sierra, and 2003 GMC Savana. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PCM uses the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to detect crankshaft speed and position. The CKP sensor is located on side of engine block, behind harmonic balancer. See Fig 1. The CKP sensor connects to the PCM through the 12-volt reference circuit, the low reference circuit and CKP sensor 1 signal circuit. If PCM detects that the CKP sensor signal is incorrect for 3 seconds, a DTC will set. To diagnose, perform related diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - 4.8L, 5.3L & 6.0L "C", "K" & "N" SERIES - FLEX FUEL & GASOLINE article.
