DTC P0339: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor A Circuit Intermittent

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 25 other vehicles, including the 2013 Lincoln Navigator, 2013 Lincoln MKZ, 2013 Lincoln MKX, 2013 Lincoln MKT, and 2013 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P0339: CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR A CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT

Description:  This DTC sets when several erratic profile ignition pickup (PIP) pulses have occurred in the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal within a calibrated time period when the camshaft speed exceeds the equivalent speed of engine idle or the starter motor is engaged.
Possible Causes: 
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent open (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit intermittent open (VR type)
  • CKP circuit intermittent open (Hall effect type)
  • VREF circuit intermittent open (Hall effect type)
  • SIGRTN circuit intermittent open (Hall effect type)
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent short to voltage (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit intermittent short to voltage (VR type)
  • CKP circuit intermittent short to voltage (Hall effect type)
  • VREF circuit intermittent short to voltage (Hall effect type)
  • SIGRTN circuit intermittent short to voltage (Hall effect type)
  • CKP+ circuit intermittent short to ground (VR type)
  • CKP- circuit intermittent short to ground (VR type)
  • CKP circuit intermittent short to ground (Hall effect type)
  • VREF circuit intermittent short to ground (Hall effect type)
  • SIGRTN circuit intermittent short to ground (Hall effect type)
  • CKP sensor incorrectly installed
  • Damaged CKP sensor
  • Incorrect, damaged or corroded connections
  • Arcing secondary ignition components (coil, wires and plugs)
  • Arcing relays or other high current devices (cooling fan or starter motor)
  • On board 2 way radio transceiver
  • Radio frequency interference or electromagnetic interference from an external source
  • Improperly grounded high power aftermarket equipment
Diagnostic Aids:  The DTC indicates two successive erratic PIP pulses occurred.
