P0322 - IGNITION/DISTRIBUTOR ENGINE SPEED INPUT CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL

Description:  The ignition engine speed sensor input signal to powertrain control module (PCM) is continuously monitored after one normal camshaft signal is detected and the starter motor is engaged, or the camshaft speed exceeds the equivalent speed of engine idle. The test fails when one or more full camshaft revolutions have elapsed without profile ignition pickup (PIP) pulses.
Possible Causes: 
  • Incorrect connections
  • Open or short circuit
  • Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor incorrectly installed
Diagnostic Aids:  The DTC indicates no PIP pulses occurred while camshafts rotation is measured.
